🌟 Meet Mario, the charming handsome boy who is on the lookout for his forever home! This delightful Shepherd/Basset Hound mix is just one year old, brimming with enthusiasm and energy. At 48 lbs, he could be the perfect cuddly companion you’ve been dreaming of! 🌈 Mario is the kind of dog that makes everyone smile! He adores his fellow canine friends and yearns for all those fun, long, sniffy walks where he can explore the world, sniff every interesting scent, and maybe even find the best stick to carry home. Imagine him frolicking with other pups in the park and, after all that fun, curling up in a cozy spot to snooze. He’s ready to shower his future family with loving gazes and warm snuggles! 🥰 This lovely boy currently resides at a shelter in South Carolina and is eagerly waiting for a kind soul to take him to DC for a real adventure in a forever home or a foster situation. He’s all about the snuggles, but he’s also working on his crate training and isn’t quite housebroken just yet. But with a little love and patience from you, he’s sure to blossom! 🌼 Mario is a blank canvas just waiting for you to paint him into your family’s life. Are you ready to make joyful memories with this sweet boy? Remember, fostering is also a wonderful option to explore! ✨ So don’t wait! If you feel drawn to Mario, please apply through the Buddy App to adopt him and bring his joy into your life! Let’s find that forever home for this sweet soul!
