Mario! Great Dog!'s Story

*Potential adopters MUST have experience owning dogs that need regular professional grooming!*<br/><br/>Meet our cool and sweet dog named Mario! Mario is about 5.5 years old and he was surrendered to our shelter after his owners could no longer care for him. We were told he is a Poodle and Labrador mix and he weighs approx 45 lbs, but he could stand to gain a little weight. As you can see from his photos, Mario is currently completely shaved down. This is because when he first came to us, he was extremely overgrown and matted to the point where we just had to start over and let his coat grow back. He will grow back his beautiful curly black coat soon! Mario can be timid when first meeting new people and he can be a little hand shy, but he is a nice dog. He loves tennis balls and likes to lay on a soft blanket. Once Mario is comfortable with you, be ready for a playful and affectionate boy who is a big couch cuddler! Mario likes to lick his human friends all over and he can get vocal when he is playful. We are looking for a patient home for Mario to be able to decompress and then show his true, happy dog personality! Mario is good with other dogs and he tested fine with cats. He can go to a home with children 12 years old and older who have experience with dogs. <br/>Potential adopters MUST have experience owning dogs that need regular professional grooming! <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Mario Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application!
