My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gentle Makan wants nothing more than a human he can trust and love.  

 

Makan is a handsome two-year-old pittie mix.  People can’t help but admire his striking hazel eyes and silly ears!  Makan looks to his humans for social cues; if you tell him that a person is safe, and that person approaches him calmly, Makan will offer a polite paw for his new friend to shake.  For a really good treat, Makan may even give his new friend a nose boop or gentle thank-you kisses!  You’ll know it’s true love if he drapes himself across a lap and looks back to say, “I’d like cuddles now, please.”

 

Makan is smart and enjoys learning new and fun games, tricks, and cues, which makes training fun and rewarding for all involved. He already is house-trained and takes treats gently.  Makan also knows his basic cues (sit, stay, shake, high-five, lie down, drop, wait, go find, come and touch).  

 

When he is happy, Makan shows his goofy side by running and jumping in a playful gallop!  His ideal home will continue to use reward-based training methods to maintain the cues that he knows and teach him fun and new cues.  They will also provide him with daily exercise and mental stimulation by going on walks and sniff-aris and offering him daily interactive food toys or food puzzles.  

 

Makan shares the property with a dog-friend and plays nicely with him and with other dogs.  Makan has spent several days with the rescue founder and 2 cats in a small apartment. He is very respectful of the cats, so if you have a dog savvy cat, they will love having him around.   

 

In exchange for kindness, this faithful boy will adore you fur-ever.


Foster  to adopt is an option!
