Makks Ark, the Most Loving Family Boy

Fostered in Portland, Oregon, and ready for meet and greets! Meet Max (aka Makks)! He is a smart, good looking 46-pound, 2-year-old sweetheart with soulful eyes who is extraordinarily gentle and loving with children. He is currently being fostered in Portland, Oregon with a dog trainer and 2 human siblings, ages 8 and 4, and does wonderfully with both kiddos. Max is particularly forgiving of younger children's antics and loves being part of the action. Max doesn't just tolerate children, but he adores them and loves to snuggle with them as much as possible. He thinks it's his job to lick their faces clean every day in return for treats. According to his dog trainer foster dad, Max is the most intelligent and trainable dog I have ever met. He picks up training easily and knows to sit, down, and stay. In the short amount of time that he has been in his foster home, Max has learned to stay on his bed during meal times like the good boy that he is. He is also housetrained and will come when called. Max is very versatile and will thrive in a home with a backyard or with a family who loves to go on runs or other adventures. For example, Max loves riding on a paddle board and will easily stay on it. He is always up for an adventure! Not surprisingly, Max is extremely athletic. He loves jumping up treehouses to hang out with the kids, showing off his agility skills, and playing fetch. After all that play, Max has shown that he can settle down easily and loves taking a nap on his dog bed. The possibilities are endless with Max! His foster family believes that any family would be lucky to adopt him and enjoy all the love he gives. Makks' favorite thing to do is to bask in all the attention and affection he can get from strangers. He knows NO strangers. He thinks they are all his BFF. Makks is so trustworthy that kids are drawn to him and he rolls over and lets them give him belly rubs. This boy is sweet and fun, and would love to to have a home that will take him on walks, practice fetch, and play with him! Hes mastered sitting beautifully and catching treats, and he loves playing fetch! Makks also loves a good swimming pool to cool off in.

He is easily corrected with your voice and eager to be a good boy always circling back and looking towards you. Makks would make a great sidekick to adventure off with or run errands with. Makks is your boy and ready to go home! He would love a home with a yard and his humans to take him on nature walks and runs, he is waiting for you!

This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health. *To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs. Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This dog youve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties wants to set you and your new pet up for success! We know our dogs and we work hard to prepare them socially for adoption. We are a network of dedicated people who are heavily invested in seeing our animals thrive. From the moment they are accepted into our program, our Intake, Behavior & Medical teams prepare them for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally assessing, and providing customized plans depending on the dogs needs. We provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be! It doesnt stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks: 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.)
