About Enzo

Enzo has been with the rescue since January 2023, where he gets plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and enrichment activities every day. He’s well trained, knows all his basic commands, and enjoys exploring the outdoors—his nose is always busy. Nose games are a favorite, especially searching for treats in the grass, and he’ll never say no to a good game of fetch. This dog stands out for his unique personality and is a pleasure to spend time with. He handles vet visits and physical exams without fuss. Enzo likes playing with other dogs under supervision and could be a solid fit for a family experienced with large, energetic breeds. For kids, the rescue recommends ages 11 and up, as he’s strong and easily excitable during play. Adaptation is supported by scheduled follow-up check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days post-adoption. With his Boxer and American Staffordshire Terrier mix, Enzo does shed—a short coat, but you’ll notice it. Adoption is available for Wisconsin residents only. Ready to meet your new best friend?
