My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Machu Picchu arrived as a stray with a young dog that was probably her brother, whom we named Cusco. More outgoing than his sister, Cusco has already been adopted. Shy-but-sweet Machu is waiting for her happily-ever-after. She will make a great companion for the right family!

* 9 months old
* 39.4 lbs.
* Slowly warms up to new people and other animals
* Sensitive and cautious
* Smart
* No kids
* Easy to walk
* Awesome Spock ears

Machu warns off rowdy dogs by showing teeth but has not been aggressive toward people and does not guard her food or toys. We think that once in the bosom of a loving family, she will probably mature into a confident pup. Come take lovely Machu for a stroll any afternoon but Monday at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California. Adopt this lovely young lady and watch her blossom!
