Makwa is a silly, goofy girl with a heart full of joy and legs fast as a racecar. She lives for playtime whether it’s chasing toys, playing fetch, or tearing around the yard in full-on zoomie mode. Rolling around in the snow or grass is one of her favorite pastimes, especially when she can show off that big, beautiful smile and her long floppy tongue.
Makwa adores people and loves to be involved in whatever you’re doing. She has a funny little habit of standing on you before settling in for cuddles, and she’s more than happy to share her toys with her favorite humans. With her excellent nose, she’s a great sniffer and enjoys exploring the world one scent at a time. She already knows how to sit and is eager to keep learning.
She can be a bit hesitant when meeting new faces at first, and things like over-the-head leashing or pets can make her a little nervous but she recovers quickly and blossoms into an outgoing, playful goofball once she feels comfortable.
Makwa would do best in a home with no cats. She has potential with other dogs, especially those who enjoy her very puppy-like energy and playful nature. Makwa would do best with respectful kiddos as new faces, quick movements at first can be scary, give her some time and she`ll be a friend for life.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion, Makwa might just be your perfect match.
