Silvio is a loving, gentle dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He’s a bit of a baby at times, always looking for affection and attention from the people he loves. Kind and playful, Silvio brings energy wherever he goes. He loves to run, jump, and hop around, showing off his athletic side with his strength and speed. Whether he’s chasing a ball in a game of fetch or playing with other dogs, Silvio is happiest when he’s active and surrounded by friends. His sweet nature and playful spirit make him impossible not to love. He would be perfect with someone who shares his athletic and outdoorsy personality, who also likes to take long naps and relax during those steamy days.
