About Mako

Meet Mako! At 12 years old, this 17-pound Pug should be enjoying his golden years, spending time in comfort and getting all the love he deserves. Instead, he spent the last six years living outside, which took a toll on him. After arriving at Pug Nation, it was clear that Mako needed a lot of care. He was underweight, dealing with fleas, and had serious health issues like a skin infection and Giardia. Despite this, Mako has shown resilience. His skin has healed, he's gained weight, and he's feeling much better. Mako is sweet, gentle, and grateful for attention. He enjoys being around people, and loves a good cuddle. He's good with other dogs too, especially those that understand his easygoing nature. Mako would thrive in a quiet home where he can be pampered with a soft bed, cozy blankets, and plenty of love. If you have space in your heart for a charming senior dog, Mako is ready to bring joy to your life. Please inquire today!
