About Mario

Meet Mario! Mario is a lively puppy, approximately 2.5 months old, and a charming mix of Chihuahua and Long-Haired Dachshund. This little guy embodies puppy spirit with his tiny legs, long body, and endless personality. His journey began on the streets of South Texas, where he was found with his mother and brother. A kind-hearted soul discovered them just in time, bringing them to safety and reaching out to Sanctuary Park Rescue for help. Since then, Mario has enjoyed a loving foster home where he’s been spoiled with warm beds, playtime, and cuddles. He’s experienced life around kids, dogs, and even cats, making him well-socialized and ready for a forever home. Mario is seeking a family that will nurture his growth and ensure he never worries about his safety again. He’s more than just a rescued puppy; he’s a survivor looking for his happily-ever-after. Currently, Mario is fostered in Brownsville, TX, but out-of-state adopters are welcome. Sanctuary Park Rescue organizes regular transport to various states, making it easier for you to bring him home. Ready to welcome this little street survivor into your life?
