🍊 ALL ABOUT ME ☘
🐕 MY RESCUE STORY🐕
Hi there! I’m Enzo — a gentle soul with a big heart and a story of second chances. I was rescued from a crowded city pound where, through no fault of my own, I found myself on the euthanasia list. I’m not quite sure how I ended up there, but I do know how lucky I am. Just when things seemed darkest, some incredibly kind-hearted rescuers saw me, believed in me, and gave me the chance to keep dreaming of a better life.
Thanks to them, I’ve been given a fresh start — and now, I’m searching for a forever family who will love me for who I am. I may have come from a tough beginning, but I have so much love, loyalty, and joy to share.
💊 MY HEALTH🏥
- Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete)
- I’ve been spayed and have no known health issues.
🐕 MY PERSONALITY🐕
I may be a bit timid when you first meet me, but underneath my shyness is a sweet, gentle soul just waiting to bloom. I’m the kind of pup who needs a little extra encouragement and love to build up my confidence — but your patience will be so worth it. I’ll quietly approach you, take treats softly from your hand, and with time, I’ll start to show you my loyal heart. Once I feel safe, I’ll become your little shadow, happily following you wherever you go.
I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes — I’m a natural peacemaker and prefer to stay out of any drama. Sudden noises or fast movements can startle me, so I thrive best in a calm, gentle environment where I can take things at my own pace. With a kind and understanding family, I know I’ll blossom into the most loving and devoted companion.
🐕 MY SOCIAL SKILLS🐕
With People: I’m a gentle and sensitive soul who just needs a little time and space to feel safe. In the beginning, I might seem a bit reserved, but I promise — I’m quietly observing and slowly building trust in my own way. While I may be cautious, I’m not reactive, and I never guard my food around people. I simply appreciate being allowed to warm up at my own pace.
With a few days — sometimes up to a week — of patience, you’ll begin to see my heart unfold. Once I trust you, I’ll start to seek out your affection and may even allow you to gently pick me up, though it’s not my favorite thing. Sudden movements and loud noises can startle me, so a calm, quiet environment helps me thrive. Because of this, I may feel overwhelmed in busy households with lots of running or shouting, especially from little ones.
All I ask is for someone who will move slowly with me, offer gentle encouragement, and let me come out of my shell on my own terms. With kindness and time, I know I’ll become a loyal, loving companion who will cherish every moment by your side.
With Dogs: I have a calm and gentle nature, especially when I’m around other dogs. I get along wonderfully with pups of all sizes and personalities. I’m not one to stir up trouble — in fact, I prefer to keep the peace. Even if another dog is being a bit pushy or rude, I’ll simply walk away and mind my own business. I don’t guard my food or belongings and am happy to share my space. I’d make a lovely companion for another easygoing dog, and I bring a steady, soothing energy wherever I go.
With Cats: I haven’t met any cats yet, but with a slow and thoughtful introduction, I think I could learn to live peacefully with a feline friend.
🔋 ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES 🎲
Although I’m still a young pup, I have an old soul. I’m calm by nature and truly cherish my quiet time. You could say I’m a bit of an introvert — I’m not the type who needs constant excitement or endless playtime. I have a lower energy level compared to most pups my age, and I’m perfectly content with a peaceful stroll or a little sniffari outside. What I love most is simply being near my humans, curling up in a cozy spot, and soaking in the comfort of home. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly companion to share your calm days with, I just might be your perfect match.
🎲TRAINING & HABITS⭐
I’m still learning the ropes when it comes to going on walks, and I’ll need a kind, patient guide to help me build my confidence one paw-step at a time. The outside world can feel a bit big and overwhelming right now, as I haven’t had much experience exploring it. When I encounter sudden noises or unfamiliar sights, I sometimes freeze or lie down — it’s just my way of processing and staying safe.
To help me feel secure, I’ll need to be double-leashed with both a harness and collar, and I should always wear a GPS tracker when outdoors. With gentle encouragement, positive experiences, and lots of love, I know I’ll grow braver and more curious with each walk.
I’m a sensitive soul, but I’m trying my best — and with the right support, I truly believe I’ll grow into a confident walking buddy. I don’t guard my food from people or other dogs, and I’m polite when it comes to sharing. Sometimes I get a little chatty during mealtimes because I’m excited and looking for a bit of attention — it’s just my way of saying, “I’m ready!”
Car rides are still a bit scary for me, but soft cuddles help me settle and feel safe. I prefer going potty outdoors, but also know how to pee on a pee pad, so I can adapt to different routines. With time, love, and consistency, I know I’ll continue to grow into a calm and trusting companion.
🏠 MY IDEAL HOME 💕
I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help me become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with:
- A family that offers a safe, structured, and calm environment.
- A family that enjoys spending quality time together indoors & outdoors.
- A family that can shower me with love and attention.
- A family that understands my fear of sudden noises/movement and is willing to help me build confidence with love and gentle guidance.
- A family that is willing to guide me with patience and understanding as I grow into the amazing dog I’m meant to be!
- Home with another calm & confident dog sibling – but not an absolute requirement
💌SPECIAL NOTES💌
I know that with the right support, encouragement, and lots of gentle love, I’ll blossom into my full, tail-wagging potential. Sure, I’m a little shy at first — but don’t let that fool you! I’m actually a pretty easygoing pup with calm, gentle vibes and a heart full of love. Once I feel safe, I’ll be your quiet sidekick, your cuddle buddy, your “let’s-do-nothing-together” kind of best friend. I may need a little time to warm up, but once I do, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without me. Maybe we’re meant to grow together — one belly rub at a time
