Mario - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Burlingame, California

Hey there all you Video game fans, my name is Mario! And like the Mario Bros, I am a silly, energetic, and active young neutered male Shepherd mix pup. Right now, I'm about 9 months old and around 40lbs., but I'm still growing and could be around 60lbs. as a full-grown adult. I'm an outgoing and playful dude that can do really well with other rough and tumble dudes just like me. I would love to go home with a family that is familiar with puppies and are ready to provide lots of exercise, training, socialization, and of course love!
