About Makemake

Makemake brings a lively spark and a need to move—he's an energetic Australian Kelpie who doesn't hold back affection. He's currently living in foster care and thrives on interaction. Helping Strays is happy to provide training support for adopters, making it easier to help Makemake settle in. He's a 3-year-old, medium-sized dog weighing about 48 lbs. Consistency and lots of engagement will help him stay balanced given his active mind and body. Makemake gets along well with dogs, but he does not get along with cats. He's house trained and enjoys making a connection with people. Makemake was born on January 3, so he's a Capricorn, which means he may have a loyal and steady side beneath that high energy.
