Enzo, or Zo as he is affectionately known at his foster home, is one heck of a sweet guy. After being surrendered due to his medical issues, Enzo bumped around a bit until he found his perfect foster home. All of those changes made Enzo briefly out of sorts, but he is back to his wonderful self now and can’t wait to find his perfect forever home.
Enzo does have a couple of concerns that his new family will need to be aware of. Enzo has Addison’s Disease, which will require ongoing maintenance and evaluation. But it won’t be hard to do steady observation of this guy—how can you resist looking at that handsome mug for hours? Addison’s is a disease that affects adrenal function but with proper treatment, Addison’s dogs can live a normal, happy, and active life. Enzo’s disease is currently being managed very well, and he is doing great! Enzo is also deaf, but it doesn’t prevent him from enjoying the world. Unlike some deaf pups, Zo does not startle easily when touched, so he will be great with kids and other dogs. We don’t know if it’s because of his deafness or just because he has one goofy personality, but Enzo has created his own imaginary world. He will sometimes zoom as though giving chase to something that doesn’t seem to be there, and will sometimes even bark at these friends that only he can see. Sharing his name with the founder of the Ferrari sportscar company, this superstud zooms around the house like nobody’s business.
Enzo’s perfect forever family would live in a home and have a wonderful yard for him to play in. He must either be leashed or confined in a yard. Because he is deaf, being allowed to wander off-leash could be very dangerous for him. It would be best if Zo’s forever family has bully experience and will be willing to provide the extra care and attention that being deaf and an Addison’s baby will require. Because Enzo loves kids, it would be great if his new family had some cuties for him to play with. And don’t worry about startling him or irritating him with too much noise—he can’t hear it! Enzo enjoys playing with others, but he also doesn’t mind being on his own. He actually can use a little downtime in his crate each day. He likes a little time to himself for quiet meditation. Enzo will need someone to be home most of the day with him because he does need to be monitored. However, if that’s not a possibility, he would be a great dog to take to the office with you. He promises to be very helpful and work hard!
Zo can be a bit bossy if you let him, and he loves to be all up in everybody’s business, but he responds well to correction, both from people and other dogs. Enzo doesn’t give his affection away to just anybody, the discerning chap, but once you have his heart, he will be yours forever. Enzo is one heck of a guy, so if you’re ready and willing to learn about his needs and provide training, love, structure, love, and love, love, love, apply for Enzo now!
Enzo’s foster mom had this to say about Enzo:
"Enzo, aka Zo, is one sweet little man. He is misunderstood by most because he’s deaf. He has some of the funniest quirks I have ever seen. He attacks an invisible monster in the corner of his crate, barks at invisible friends and loves to chase his invisible friends around the house. He also snorts, blows, and snores like no other. His little knob of a tail wiggles when he is excited and he has the squishiest face I have ever seen. He is kissable, huggable, loveable and most of all will keep you entertained for hours. He is a clown like no other. But there is a sweet and loving side to this boy that is undeniable, and his eyes tell a story of a boy who just wants someone to love and dote on him. He loves to be touched, hugged and kissed. Enzo does not mind being bathed, getting his nails clipped, his ears cleaned or butt wiped. Cleaning his face is a little bit of a wrestle but give him a treat and he will not move a muscle. He loves kids and is not easily startled when touched. He crates like a dream although sometimes he will bark at that invisible thing and I have to remove him from the room. You can sleep in on the weekend if you want, he will only wake up if he REALLY has to go potty. He is a sweet, gentle boy that really wants a home of his own. He does not mind sharing as long as he gets his time with you."
If you’re interested in driving off into the sunset with Enzo, you’ll have to come to North Carolina because he will not be shipped.
