M'Baku

My story

Hey! I’m M’Baku — yep, like the warrior from Black Panther!Don’t worry, I’m way more cuddly than fierce (unless you’re a squeaky toy, then…RIP).I’m a goofy, loving guy with a lot of energy and an even bigger heart. I’ve been with my foster fam for about a year now, and they’ve taught me all kinds of cool stuff! I know how to sit before going outside, before treats, and even before belly rubs (which, by the way, I LOVE).Let’s get this out of the way—I think I’m a lap dog. I mean, if you’re on the couch or sitting on the floor, why wouldn’t I climb in your lap? Size is just a number, right?I love playing with my shih tzu brother in the yard—we run, we wrestle, we live our best lives. I do get really excited around other dogs, especially smaller ones. Sometimes I lunge, but it’s always to play, not to be mean. I just don’t always know my own strength yet.I’m friendly with everyone, especially kids! I’ve been around all ages—from tiny humans to teenagers—and I’m always sweet and playful. Just don’t be surprised if I try to join in their games. My foster’s taught the older kids how to handle me when I get too bouncy, and I’m learning my manners!Strangers? I’m a little shy around men at first, but give me a little time and I’ll warm up—especially if treats or belly rubs are involved. With women, I’m usually chill and friendly right away.Toys? LOVE them. I do rip the stuffing out, but don’t worry—I don’t eat it. I just like to “redecorate.” Oh, and fetch? You can throw the ball…but I never said I’d bring it back. ??I’m crate trained and I actually like my kennel—it’s my chill zone. I’m still working on potty training, but I’m getting better every day!So, if you’re looking for a sweet, silly, snuggly, sometimes-wild cuddle monster who will make you laugh every single day, I might be your guy. Let’s meet—I promise I’ll sit for a treat!Adoption Fee - $50M`Baku is part of our Home to Home Program.
