About Mako

Mako is a lively 1-year-2-month-old Lab mix weighing 47.1 pounds. He’s back at the shelter after being surrendered because his previous owners felt overwhelmed with his energy, especially with a new baby arriving. Mako loves to play and can keep himself entertained by fetching his own toys or even chasing his tail! This energetic boy enjoys walks and knows several basic commands such as sit, lay down, paw, go potty, and stay—especially when he knows you’re watching. He is housebroken but can still be a bit of a chewer, so plenty of appropriate chew toys are a must to protect your belongings. Mako has done well with other dogs and kids, making careful introductions important for a smooth transition. He’s known to jump on people and counters, but he generally behaves well and rides nicely in the car. Mako has a friendly and outgoing personality, and he will fit well into a loving home that can ensure he gets the training and attention he needs. If you're interested in meeting him, please reach out!
