About Marco

Meet Marco! 🐾 Marco is a lively and affectionate 10-month-old Basenji/Shiba Inu mix looking for a loving home where he can learn and thrive. He is housetrained, exceptionally smart, and already knows commands like "Sit" and "Down." Marco adores squeaky toys, treats (especially cheese!), and snuggling for cozy pets. He does well with older children and adults, as he can be a bit mouthy when excited, so consistent guidance is essential. Marco is adventurous and loves exploring on walks, showing friendly interest in other dogs. He’s eager to refine his leash manners. He'll do best in an active home, ideally with a fenced yard for fun play sessions and all the love he deserves! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
