Makai

My story

    About Me  Hi, I’m Makai. I'm 2 years old, and I came to SCGRR last year after a good samaritan helped me get off the streets.   I’d been living with a person who struggled with addiction and had to learn to fend for myself.    Since coming to SCGRR I’ve learned how wonderful it is to be in a home with people, plenty of food and a warm bed.   I’ve been through a lot, and I’m still learning how to be the best dog I can be.    People tell me I’m a big boy weighing in at 90 pounds.   My people are working to give me training, but sometimes I forget how big I can be.   For this reason, I probably shouldn’t be in a house with young kids.   As I had to fight a bit on the streets, I’m not really fond of other dogs and really want to be your one and only.    In return, I will give tons of love and laughs, and probably even a bit of protection.   I love to be near my humans; it’s my favorite thing in the world. I like to greet new people, and I’m getting used to how nice it feels when they’re gentle with me.  I’m really good in the car, and I’m learning to walk on a leash in the yard.  At this point my trainer is recommending that I not going on walks out of the yard as I’m not very good at meeting other dogs. I like to play with bouncy balls.  I also sniff around the counters, but my humans have made sure I can’t find any tasty surprises there.  I really just want a quiet house to rest in and a yard of my own to play in.  My Ideal Home  I’m a big guy, so I need a yard where I can run around and play. I would do best in a home without  children, just because I’m still learning how to be gentle with my size and I’d never want to accidentally hurt anyone. I want to be your only one so please no other dogs, cats or animals.   If you have the patience to help me learn and grow, I promise to give you all the love and loyalty I have.  I would really benefit from continued training.  I just want to spend my life with my forever human. Will you be that person?  Want to Adopt me?  If you believe your home is the perfect match for me, please make sure you have first submitted an adoption application (https://scgrrescue.org/adoption-app/) and completed your home interview with a SCGRRescue Volunteer.
