About Fortunato

Fortunato found himself in a tough spot when his owner lost his job and left him behind with a friend who already had too many pets. Fortunately, he’s landed at our rescue and is ready to embrace new beginnings. This bouncy boy has a heart full of love. At first, he might seem a bit cautious, but with a few tasty treats, he warms up quickly. His playful spirit shines through when he launches into the air, landing with a joyous BOING into the grass, resembling an oversized baby bunny. Fortunato loves toys, especially fluffy plushies that he can shred, though he needs supervision during playtime. He’s learning to greet people with all four paws on the floor, but his excitement can take over sometimes. He would thrive in a home with older children who can handle his enthusiastic personality. In his previous home, he lived harmoniously with kids and has shown that he can get along with other dogs, especially if they enjoy high-energy wrestling matches. Although he lived with cats before, he tends to play a little too enthusiastically with them. Fortunato is searching for an active companion who can provide him with adventures, snuggles, and a commitment to a long-lasting relationship of fun. A 5-week Good Manners training course is included with his adoption, which will aid him in settling into his new home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
