Here's what Mario's friends at Rebel Dogs Detroit think of him: Apply to adopt Mario today at Petfinder.Mario came to us after he was found in the sewer under an abandoned factory in Detroit. He has previously been shot in the foot, and the bullet is still there. This old injury has been deemed inoperable, but luckily Mario is not in distress from the injury. However, his one paw remains larger due to excessive tissue surrounding the bullet. Mario is crate and potty-trained and knows to sit for his food. He has likely been a stray a very long time and needs to meet new people on his terms. Mario loves treats and giving kisses. Although he is inexperienced when meeting new people, he is very mild of nature. We don't want a home with young children for Mario, as that may be overwhelming, but calmer, older children are fine. Mario is attentive and appears to not dislike other dogs from a distance.Â

Pistachio, pit bull terrier mix
