All about this dog…

DARIO

❌ ✨ Meet Dario ✨ ❌

This sweet little soul ended up at the pound in the middle of June. He’s a 4,5 year-old Jack Russell cross who has already endured far more than any dog ever should.

🥺 When DARIO arrived, he was in a heartbreaking state — filthy, neglected, and bearing the raw, painful mark of a chain that had clearly grown too tight over time. It’s likely he was tied up as a puppy, and as he grew, the collar became embedded in his skin. 💔

🐕But DARIO is a fighter. He’s now healing, slowly learning to trust, and beginning to understand that not all humans will hurt him. With gentle care and patience, he’s starting to open up and show his true self : a loving, affectionate boy who just wants to feel safe.

💛 DARIO still has a lot to discover — what it means to be loved, to have someone care for him, to feel that he’ll never be hurt again. Despite all he’s been through in his short life, he is incredibly sweet and eager for affection.

🏡 If you’re looking for a small-sized companion with a big heart, DARIO could be the one. For now, we believe he would do best as an only dog in a home, where he can have all the time and space he needs to blossom.

▶️ If you feel called to open your heart and your home to DARIO, please don’t hesitate to message us. He’s waiting for someone to finally choose him. 🐾
