Story
Enzo was dropped off in a basket at my friend’s door in February of 2025. He was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my friend was allergic so I agreed to take him in since he was a stray and it was freezing cold out. We planned on fostering him until we found a home for him, but unfortunately I was not able to find one. We eventually decided to keep him, but due to our increasing responsibilities away from home, it’s become impossible to give him the attention, care, and possible training that he requires. He ends up having to spend most of his days in a kennel when we’re at work or away. He’s a loving and energetic boy who loves to play fetch and run around in the yard with his toys. He hasn’t been exposed to many other humans or dogs, and can be a bit of a handful around new people and pets at first due to his energy but he means well. He’s about a year and a half old now. We love Enzo but he deserves someone who can give him more time and attention that he deserves.

Story
I bought him from a breeder in North Georgia and he has up to date shots and he is microchipped. He is great with kids and has huge amounts of energy. He is very sensitive to emotions and he is my emotional support dog. He is very attentive and very affectionate. I would prefer him to go to a home with children and a large backyard where he can play. He requires a lot of attention so preferably someone who has the time to spend with him.
