🌟 Allow me to introduce you to the delightful Mario! This lovable boy is just under 2 years old but has already experienced a lifetime of waiting. Can you believe he and his brother Yoshi spent an incredible 373 days in an overcrowded shelter? That’s right—growing up in a kennel made his world a little dim, but he has blossomed since moving into a foster home! 🌼 Mario is bursting with excitement as he learns about the comforts of home life, from cozy couches to human hugs. With each day, he’s discovering that humans can be pretty spectacular! His goofy and fun-loving personality brings a spark of joy wherever he goes. Just imagine his big, bright eyes as he takes in everything around him, reminding us all to approach life like a brand-new adventure! ✨ Now, he needs a special adopter with a heart full of patience to help him catch up on everything he missed. But here’s the great news—he's treat motivated and eager to learn! Training him will not only be possible; it will feel oh-so-rewarding! Mario is not only a lover of all things fun; he gets along splendidly with other dogs and is even cat-friendly! 🎉 Imagine the joy of having another playful pooch to guide him through this newfound world! Weighing in at around 50 pounds, neutered, and heartworm negative, Mario is absolutely ready to step into the bright future that he truly deserves. If you have love, patience, and a welcoming home, this adorable underdog can’t wait to meet you! Now, don’t forget—this sweetheart is currently in South Mississippi but don’t let distance hold you back! Mario is ready to travel, and the Buddy App is just a click away for you to apply and make him a part of your family! 🐾✨
