🌟 About Mario
Mario is a lovely small–medium boy from Romania who’s learning that life can be kind! He’s shy at first, but once he feels safe, his gentle personality really shines through.
He’s the perfect mix of sweet and sensitive — and just needs a patient, loving home to help him continue growing in confidence.
