Mario is a sweet, shy soul with a heart of gold. Estimated to be just over 1 year old, this neutered male has the golden coat of a Labrador Retriever and the charming black accents that hint at his Pit Bull roots—a lovable mix of two great breeds. Weighing between 36–75 lbs, Mario is a sensitive boy who was surrendered by his owner on March 17, 2025, and has been patiently waiting at Animal Friends of the Valleys in Wildomar, CA ever since (ID #713019).
Though a bit timid at first, Mario quickly opens up once he trusts you. He becomes affectionate, playful, and loves cuddles. He walks well on a leash—occasionally pulling from excitement—but responds beautifully to gentle guidance. He already knows how to sit and is well-behaved overall, making him a great candidate for continued training in a loving home.
🦴 Why Mario Deserves a Home
Mario’s gentle personality shines through despite the overstimulation of shelter life. He’s the kind of dog who will thrive in a calm, patient environment where he can build confidence and enjoy plenty of companionship. His sweet face and soft demeanor make him impossible not to fall for.
