Mariano is a young Labrador mix with a gentle demeanor, about two years old and on the shy side. While he can be timid around people, he’s genuinely sweet and loves the company of other dogs. Mariano is most at ease when he’s playing with a canine companion or spending time outside in a fenced yard. He really blossoms with another dog around and would do best in a home where he has a playful buddy. He’s already fully house trained and has a big soft spot for romp sessions in the yard. Every day, Mariano grows a little braver and gets closer to trusting his human caretakers. With some patience and kindness, he’s sure to thrive and open up even more. He’s eager to meet a family who can show him what it means to be part of a loving home. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
