About Enzo

Meet Enzo, a 2-year-old, 20 lb sweetheart who has been with our rescue since he was just a tiny puppy. His siblings have found their forever homes, and now it’s Enzo’s turn. This little guy is affectionate, curious, and intelligent. However, he can be timid and fearful around new people due to his past experiences. When he's scared, he may react by biting, so he needs a patient and understanding adopter familiar with canine body language. It’s essential for him to have an adult-only home without children. Once Enzo learns to trust, his true personality shines through. He becomes loving, loyal, and eager to please those who respect his pace. Enzo is fully vetted, microchipped, dog-friendly, and cat-friendly, and he's steadily making progress with potty training. His ideal environment would be calm and structured, where he can thrive with positive reinforcement. For the right person, Enzo has so much love to give. Ready to meet this brave boy? Apply today!
