Here's to making Mako's happily ever after story a good one!! Mako is a senior boy who may have not had the best start to his life. Living outside, he longed for the comforts of a home. When he ended up in the city shelter, the volunteers quickly realized that the chaos of the shelter was causing him immense amounts of stress.

Mako made his way over to Austin Pets Alive! where he's been living in one of our tiny homes! This is a small area away from the sights and sounds of the shelter but still on our property. The staff has seen his stress levels decrease and his true personality come through! He's a wiggly, happy dance type of dog ready and waiting for just the right person to come and give him the retirement home he deserves.

Because of past experiences that we don't know the whole story of, Mako needs to be the only pet in your home. He's not going to feel comfortable living or interacting with other pets and needs a human that will love him for exactly who he is.

This senior boy deserves to see the good humanity and be loved for the rest of his days. Is that with you? Click on the 'adopt me' button to find out if you're a good fit!
