Lazaro is a very friendly, energetic and playful boy who seems to have an endless supply of enthusiasm for life. He loves chasing lizards, running after balls, catching them and playing. Knowing his character, we can easily imagine how he ended up in trouble.
Lazaro was found after being bitten by a snake and was rushed to a veterinary clinic. When he arrived at the municipal pound, his neck was still swollen and the marks of the bite were clearly visible. Thankfully, he recovered and returned to his happy, playful self. Not every dog would have survived such an ordeal, and we believe Lazaro is a remarkably strong little survivor.
He is an extremely active dog who loves walks and adventures and seems to have no idea what being tired means, even in hot weather! He is also very people-oriented and friendly. Lazaro has met many different people and has been lovely with everyone. During a visit to the shelter by a group of people with disabilities, he was particularly wonderful: he happily enjoyed their company, attention and cuddles, without showing any discomfort or hesitation. It was a lovely experience that showed just how sociable and affectionate he can be.
Lazaro also gets along with other dogs he meets on walks and shows no aggression towards them. However, his play style deserves a little explanation. He is a very energetic, enthusiastic player who enjoys rough-and-tumble games, including jumping on his playmates, running, vocalising and chasing. Although he maintains a soft mouth and does not show aggression, his play can be quite intense. Smaller dogs or dogs who prefer calmer interactions may not appreciate his approach. When his excitement peaks, he needs some help slowing down and regulating himself. If there is another dog in his future home, introductions and learning to live together will require patience, supervision and a consistent routine.
Lazaro is clever, affectionate and very much a people dog, but he hasn't quite mastered his manners yet! He is a big, bouncy boy who needs guidance, training and someone willing to teach him how to channel all that enthusiasm. And when he finally pauses between adventures, he can be wonderfully cuddly and happy to enjoy some quiet affection.
Lazaro would be a lovely companion for an active family with experience handling large dogs. He needs people who can offer him exercise, mental stimulation, consistent training and clear guidance, as well as plenty of love.
