Azzurro

About Azzurro

Ciao a tutti! Mi chiamo Azzurro! (Hello everybody! My name is Azzurro!) Azzurro is Italian for light blue or azure – the colour of a beautiful, cloudless sky. And fittingly, I'm a rather handsome blue boy with a heart just as lovely as my looks! I'm a little on the petite side for a boy, but what I lack in size, I more than make up for in personality! I'm five years young, with enthusiasm, affection and enough zest for life to light up any room. When meeting new people, I can be a little overexcited (okay, perhaps a lot overexcited!), but that's simply because I LOVE everyone and am always thrilled to make a new friend. Don't worry, though – once we're out walking, I settle beautifully, and I'm even happier when I get to potter around and explore the garden. I've also recently been putting my independence skills to the test in the shelter's indoor 'flex space' – a big, open-plan office area where I've had the chance to explore a new environment and enjoy a little alone time. And how did I do? Well, I'll let my report card do the talking! First visit: I spent about an hour investigating my surroundings (there was a LOT to see!), admiring myself in the mirror, checking out what was on the benches and enjoying my dinner. Once I'd satisfied my curiosity, I found my chew, hopped onto my bed and settled in for a well-deserved nap. Second visit: A very good boy! I spent most of my time hanging out with the humans and requesting pats, with the occasional snooze in my bed thrown in for good measure. So, as you can see, I'm something of a natural at this 'good boy' business! I'd describe myself as sunshine in a bottle. I'm a joyful, affectionate soul who simply can't help making people smile. I adore human company and am always on the lookout for an opportunity to score a pat, a cuddle or even just a little compliment. (A boy does appreciate being told he's handsome, after all!) I'm also discovering just how wonderful life can be. Toys, treats, playtime – what's not to love? There's still so much for me to explore, and I can't wait to discover all the lovely things that come with having a forever home and a special human of my very own. And it's not just humans who get the Azzurro treatment! I enjoy meeting other dogs, both big and small. I've also shown some promising signs when it comes to feline friends – yes, actual cats! While my assessment was only preliminary, my lack of interest in chasing them was certainly encouraging. So, if you're looking for a handsome, happy-go-lucky companion with a heart full of love and a sunny disposition, I might just be your boy. Remember the name: Azzurro! Choose me, and I'll do my very best to bring a little sunshine, a lot of laughter and plenty of love into your life. Arrivederci for now! Good with children aged 5 and over.
