Renzo

Renzo is an adoptable male Black Labrador Retriever looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. He is fully grown and medium in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Renzo may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.
