Mark

*Currently fostered in Frederick, MD* **Meet Mark: Sweetest little guy there ever was** **Name:** Mark **Age:** approximately 5 years **Breed:** Mixed Breed **Weight:** 42 lbs **Color:** Brown with a white belly and black muzzle and highlights **About Mark:** Mark's journey has been nothing short of inspiring. When Mark was first rescued, he was a frightened and timid pup, unsure of the world around him. It took patience, love, and time, but he has blossomed into a brave and affectionate dog who now fully embraces the joys of being a house dog. He's recently learned to "catch" things and thinks that's really fun! He knows how to sit for attention and is starting to learn to "come when called." **Personality:** Mark is a gentle soul with a heart full of love. Once shy and wary, he has now discovered the comfort and security of a loving home. Mark is restful during the day and enjoys curling up in his cozy bed. He has a calm demeanor and is very well-behaved indoors. **Favorite Activities:** - **Cuddling:** Mark loves being close to his humans. He sleeps quietly through the night in his bed, and has learned to give a snuggle in bed in the morning before starting the day. He thrives on affection and companionship and he's so eager to please. - **Playing:** Mark has discovered the fun of toys! He's still not sure about the squeaky ones, but enjoys carrying quiet ones around proudly. - **Walks:** Mark loves his daily walks. He enjoys exploring the neighborhood and is well-mannered on a leash (except for the occasional bunny sighting.) - **Learning:** Mark is a wicked smart dog and enjoys learning new tricks. He is treat-motivated and picks up commands quickly. **Ideal Home:** Mark would do best in a calm and loving home where he can continue to build his confidence. He is good with other dogs and could benefit from having a canine companion to show him the ropes, but could be an only guy too. Mark would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of attention, love, and opportunities to learn and explore. **Adoption ideals:** - A patient and loving family willing to continue Mark's journey of trust and confidence. - A secure yard for playtime. - Regular exercise and mental stimulation. - Lots of love and cuddles! Mark has come a long way from his days as a scared pup. He has proven that with love and patience, even the most timid dogs can be the best companions.
