Meet Curio, a pint-sized little guy with a heart big enough to fill a room! 🥰 At just 1 year old and only 15 pounds, this playful pup has already experienced more than many youngsters ever should. Picture this: just before the holiday festivities of Christmas, Curio found himself being offered up on social media like yesterday's leftovers, with a bleak threat of being taken to a shelter if no one stepped up to save him. But along came a compassionate supporter who snatched him up just in the nick of time and brought him to our rescue. Thank goodness for guardian angels! 🙏✨ Curio's early days were spent confined in a crate—an absolute no-go for a curious little explorer like him. You can just imagine that tiny body, filled with energy and wonder, yearning for the world outside! When he first arrived at the rescue, he was a bit underweight and understandably cautious about this big, fancy place called the world. But with love and care, he’s been gaining both weight and confidence every single day! 🎉 True to his name, Curio has an insatiable thirst for discovery! 🌍 New sounds? New smells? New experiences? Yes, please! Sometimes, this little adventurer lets out a surprisingly big bark for someone so small, but it’s all part of his journey as he learns to express himself. It’s not aggression, my friends; it’s just Curio finding his voice in this big playground we call life! With a sprinkle of patience and positive reinforcement, he’s set to blossom into an even more confident pup. Curio is a social butterfly, especially when it comes to other dogs; he finds immense comfort in their company. 🐶 Having a confident canine buddy in his future home would absolutely work wonders for him! Imagine the two of them frolicking together! Curio would thrive with an active owner who enjoys long walks, playtime, and training sessions filled with tail wagging enthusiasm! 🌟 After all, this little fella craves the attention and structure that he missed out on during his early days. At the heart of it all, Curio is a sweet, silly, and affectionate pup who just wants to feel safe, included, and, most importantly, loved. 💖 He has so much potential and an abundance of love to share with the right person.
