Description
Dog Breed: Dogo Argentino (medium coat). Marco was surrendered by his owner because they were unable to care for him properly. He had to be kept from another dog on the property, and he ended up in several fights, with injuries. The minute he came here, he was a happy, sweet boy, full of energy. Marco is a super loving dog who doesnât know his size and strength and was never trained properly with boundaries for safety. These breeds get a bad reputation because they often serve as simply a guard dog, when they are so much more. Will he detour strangers from entering your home, yes, absolutely, but heâd prefer to do it from a couch or a comfy dog bed and not chained up or left outdoors consistently. He would also enjoy a large yard where he could run and play and if there is proper shelter, he could be part of our Outdoor Explores Club. Marco will need obedience training after being adopted. Our experienced volunteers are working with him now and he is responding well to positive re-enforcement. He should have continued training until the adopter is confident that their cues and commands are observed and followed by him. He is not crazy about other dogs currently, yet we continue to safely try with our play groups to see if there is certain type of dog that he is partial to. For now, he would need to be the only PET in the home. We are unsure if he has been around children, so a meet and greet is a must. Not a first time dog for anyone, experienced only! 2/9/26 making good progress in the play group with other bigs!

Overview:
The Argentinian Mastiff, more commonly known as the Dogo Argentino, is a powerful and noble breed originating from Argentina in the 1920s, specifically developed for big-game hunting. These impressive dogs boast a striking appearance with their signature pure white coat, muscular build, and a strong, intelligent gaze. Temperament-wise, a well-socialized Dogo is often described as loyal, courageous, and protective of their family. While they can be affectionate and gentle with their loved ones, their protective instincts and high energy levels mean they are generally not suitable for apartment living and thrive in homes with ample space and an active lifestyle. They require consistent training and early socialization to ensure they are well-behaved around strangers and other animals. Regarding health, they are prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia and skin allergies, and due to their white coat, they have a higher incidence of deafness.
