About Enzo

Meet Enzo. Enzo is a 2-year-old, approximately 20 lb sweetheart who has been with our rescue since he was just a tiny puppy. His siblings have already found their forever homes, and now we hope it's finally Enzo’s turn. Enzo is affectionate, curious, and intelligent. While he can be loyal once he learns to trust, he can also be timid and fearful when meeting new people due to past experiences. When scared or overwhelmed, he may react by biting out of fear. Thus, he needs a patient, understanding adopter comfortable with fearful dogs and familiar with canine body language. An adult-only home is essential for Enzo, as he does not do well with children. When he feels safe and bonds with a person, he reveals a loving, eager-to-please side. Enzo is fully vetted, microchipped, dog-friendly, and cat-friendly, and he’s making steady progress with potty training. His ideal home would be calm and structured, with someone committed to using positive reinforcement to help him gain confidence. He may require a little more understanding than other dogs, but for the right person willing to offer him a chance, he has so much love to give. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
