About MaRooNeeds a sidekick

Meet MaRoo, a charming young Lab/Hound mix looking for a family to call his own. At just 18 months old, he weighs around 38 lbs and is all set to shine in a loving home. MaRoo is housetrained and cratetrained, and he's got a knack for settling smoothly into home life. Currently living with five other dogs, he gets along with them all, regardless of size or personality. He views every new person as a friend, making him a delightful social butterfly. This affectionate boy shows no food or toy aggression and barks only when needed. His recall skills are solid, and he's working on his leash manners—he's practically got it down. Active and playful, MaRoo loves to run and wrestle with other dogs. A securely fenced yard would make him incredibly happy, plus he’d be a fantastic jogging buddy for anyone seeking companionship. While he hasn't lived with kids, his friendly nature suggests he’d enjoy their company. However, he does not get along with cats and other small animals, thinking chasing them is too much fun. Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, MaRoo is ready for a fresh start. He will thrive with a dog-loving adopter who understands he may need a little time to adjust. This good boy is eager to make lasting memories with his future family. Adoption fees apply, and transport options are available if needed. Click apply to start the adoption process.
