Mako

Meet Mako, a 34-pound bundle of playful energy and affection ready to bring boundless joy into your home! This energetic, food-loving puppy has transformed from a shy shelter dog into a confident, snuggly companion who loves to engage in games of tug and soak up all the affection he can get. Mako might need a bit of space during mealtimes due to his quick eating and potential food guarding, but his gentle nature and eagerness for play make him a delightful addition to any active household. He's especially suited for a home with another playful dog who can match his spirited personality. Come meet Mako and discover the fun and love he'll add to your life!
