Beautiful Mario was saved from an overcrowded shelter in Maryland, when his time was up and he found himself euthanasia-listed only due to a lack of space. On top of being extremely emaciated at only 35 lbs with every rib sticking out, we suspect Mario may also have something going on neurologically. He’s the tippiest tapper and has quite the wobbly gait when he’s excited, though it’s already seemed to decrease since being in a foster home! We’ll still have our neurologist take a look at Mario to ensure we’re not missing anything medically. He’s bulking up and will be neutered once strong enough to undergo anesthesia!

Here's what his temporary fosters have to say about Mario: "Mario is doing great! We can tell he feels safe, as he sleeps well in his kennel with his belly up, snoring contentedly, and gets the zoomies all the time. His crate and house training are going very well - he does all his business outside except for the occasional marking in the apartment hallway, which is to be expected as he gets accustomed to city living. Mario is sweet, good natured, and friendly with dogs and people. He hasn't figured out toys yet and is still awkward when taking treats, almost like he hasn't had much practice. He loves affection from his people and is super snuggly!"
