vito
Male - Mixed Breed
Age: May 2025 | Weight: 13.25kg & growing
Update: Vito is with a foster family locally and learning how to be a house pup. The fosters are adopters of ours(2x) and always foster. Their most recent foster was just adopted so Vito was next on their list!!
History: Vito was seen running by Parasio Vallarta. He had a cord around his neck as if he was once tied up, was underweight and covered in fleas. Poor little guy was so scared! We were able to grab him and get him to our vet. At the shelter where he loved being around the other dogs and he LOVES being held and pet. He will snuggle right into your shoulder. Based on his story, it seems as though Vito is the runt of the litter. He is growing but he’s not a “big” dog. He’s quite dense but isn’t getting much taller. Our best guess is he might be around 40lbs but it’s always difficult to truly know. We’re a bit surprised he hasn’t yet been adopted.
We have come to learn; Vito was with a family of dogs including his mom. Someone had been feeding them near Parasio Vallarta. Another rescue had picked up 2 of his siblings a week prior, both having been run over. They couldn’t take the rest of the family, and nobody knew where they went. Then we found Vito and a few days later spotted his mom(identical) not far from our shelter with two more puppies. We were able to get both those puppies in one day, at different times, both females, but have not seen mom. We will try to rescue her as well if we can! His sisters are named Venice and Verona…our Italy litter!
