About Enzo

Enzo fits the bill for anyone who wants a well-rounded family dog. Trained, responsive, and sweet, Enzo is an easy companion to have around. He’ll turn 3 in June and weighs about 65 lbs. He’s vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Enzo comes with the benefit of having gone through a professional in-home training program, so he hits the ground running with strong manners. He’s comfortable living inside, loves being around people, and gets along well with other dogs. Enzo is playful and loyal, and you won’t have to teach him basic skills—he’s already got them down. However, Enzo’s high prey drive means he can’t live safely with cats or small animals, so he’ll do best in a dog-savvy home that matches his needs. Give him the right place, and he’ll thrive.
