Mario is a large, gentle dog who was found as a stray in New York City. After arriving terrified and shut down, he has made wonderful progress with patient support from staff and volunteers. He is looking for someone willing to give him time, understanding, and encouragement as he settles into a new home.

Ideal Home

• A home without small animals is preferred

Ongoing Health

Mario is vaccinated and neutered. No medical conditions or health concerns are reported in the listing.

Training & Support
