Special Needs: Enzo was recently diagnosed with Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). So he's lost some night time vision and he possibly will lose his sight. If he loses his sight he will adjust to being blind and do well. Enzo also has hip dysplasia in both hips and is on supplements that I get from the vitamin store. As of right now it doesn't give him any issues.
Description:

Enzo is a working breed dog who needs someone who will mentally stimulate him along with playing fetch or tug of war and go for walks. He needs activities that will build his confidence, such as scent work, barn hunt, agility classes for fun (will never be able to compete in agility due to hip dysplasia in both hips). There are times when he would like to just sit out in the back yard sunbathing but then there are days he run laps around yard.

Enzo is a mature dog who prefers not to be around dogs that are in your face. He doesn't do well with smaller dogs but when introduced properly he gets along with dogs his size or bigger. He can be food aggressive with other dogs, you can take his food away or pet him while he eats but if another dog comes too close he will react. A home with no cats would be best since he does like to chase them.

Enzo is skittish with strangers and takes time to warm up to others. Tends to warm up to women before men. He wants to please and works hard at his training.

He does well with children as long as they are not squeezing him and getting in his face, there are no children in the foster home but he's been around kids from ages 2-15. A low traffic household would be best. At the end of the day with lots of patience you will end up with a 47 pound lap dog once he warms up to you.

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
