✨ Meet the charming and slightly shy Maki, a delightful long-haired tweenie weighing in at 18 lbs and looking for his forever home! At 10 years young, this lovely gentleman has a heart — albeit a little guarded — and he’s ready to find that one true companion who can help him blossom. Maki is a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to life. He’s not a fan of kiddos; oh no, those rambunctious little ones can send him running for cover! So if children are part of your every day, it’s best to scroll on by. But, if you have a quiet, adult-only home where patience reigns supreme, Maki is going to shine like the star he is! ⭐️ He can be a tad timid when new faces enter his world, but with time, sweet Maki will warm right up, following his humans everywhere! He’s the ultimate cuddle buddy, adoring those cozy lap moments. Now, let’s talk about Maki’s needs: He’s seeking a quiet abode with experienced doxie lovers who have a fenced yard (no condos or townhomes, please!) and a puppy pal to help him feel comfortable. A laid-back, buddy-sized dog is just what he needs to help him find his confidence. And a quick heads up — no cats, small children, or large doggos allowed! 🐕 Maki is crate-trained and just requires regular outdoor trips to keep his home clean and his heart happy. He could benefit from a little diet adjustment and some exercise to keep him spry and full of life. 🏃‍♂️ With a bit of love, he’s sure to thrive! Maki is currently being fostered in Maryland, and potential adopters will need to meet him in person for an introductory home visit — it’s essential! 🤗 So why wait? This sweet soul deserves a loving forever home, and he’s waiting just for you! 🌼 *Apply to adopt Maki through the Buddy App today!*
