About Marco

Meet Marco! He's a bouncy, sweet, and playful 10-month-old Basenji/Shiba Inu mix looking for a loving home where he can learn and grow. Marco is housetrained, super smart, and already knows the commands "Sit" and "Down." This energetic pup adores squeaky toys and treats, especially cheese. He enjoys cozy pets and has a charming personality. Because he can get mouthy when excited, he's best suited for homes with older children or adults who can provide consistent guidance. On walks, Marco is curious and loves to explore. He has shown friendly interest in dog friends and is eager to improve his leash manners. An active home, ideally with a fenced yard for playtime, will be perfect for him. Ready to make Marco a part of your family? Apply to adopt him today!
