Mario's Story

Mario is a happy little mixed breed bundle of puppy energy wrapped up as a big snuggle bug. He would be great with kids. He plays (and plays and plays) with his foster brother so he's very dog social. Mario quickly figured out the doggie door and his learning leash walking. He kennels at night and his potty trained. At 4 months old he is approximately 18 lbs and will likely be around 40 lbs when full grown.<br/><br/>Siblings: Princess Peach (F) Luigi (M) Mario (M) Bowser (M) Yoshi (M)<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting Mario, please complete an online application at https://hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie.com/forms/196/dog-application<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.
