About Nunzio:

  • Dog/cat friendly

  • Adults/dog-savvy kids

  • Fenced yard (optional)

Nunzio is a delightful, young gentleman. He's a friendly boy who enjoys humans, adores doggie friends, and is on a mission to befriend the resident kitty - who's not impressed with his polite efforts. He has a lovely temperament and his foster believes he'd do well with respectful, dog-savvy children.


Nunzio is doing great with house, potty, and leash training. He's currently fostered in a home without a fenced yard, he goes out to do his business on a leash several times a day.


Nunzio is more people motivated than food or toy motivated, he's not even interested in people food. He absolutely LOVES doggie treats. This clever boy ignores his food bowl in hopes of guilting you into giving him snacks. If he waits, something better must come along, right?! He's not particularly interested in toys or chewing on things. He does enjoy purloining things, like socks, and bringing them to his bed for decoration and comfort.


Sweetheart Nunzio is ready for his fur-ever home, given his temperament he'd do well as a family dog with respectful, dog-savvy kids. While he's a pretty calm boy, he's still essentially a puppy and does best with a regular routine. This good boy goes potty on a leash, he'd enjoy a yard in his new home but it's not required. He'd love doggie siblings. If he's adopted as a solo dog, he'd thrive with regular canine socialization and doggie playdates. He can go to a home with dog-savvy cats.
