My name is Marco!

MARCO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:  Marco       Best Guess for Breed:  Chihuahua mix

Best Guess for Age:  4.5 years as of September 2024        SEX: Male

Approximate Weight:  9 lbs

Gets Along With:   Marco does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog. We haven't seen him with cats but he can be tested. We would be cautious placing him in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  

Currently Living at:  Puerto Rico shelter; Marco needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get on a freedom flight up here!

Special adoption considerations:  Because Marco is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. We would be cautious placing Marco in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.

Marco is Looking For:   His forever home! This small sweetie is from Puerto Rico, and many dogs from Puerto Rico haven't had a lot of socialization. They can be pretty shy. Marco is such a sweetie who wants nothing more than to trot through life with all the confidence of a well-loved dog. To get there, he needs extra patient and loving adopters whop understand he needs to experience new places and people at his pace. A welcoming resident dog will show him how to dog as well!

Marco is just such a great little pup and will pay back all the love and support he receives by being a loyal, loving companion for all his days. What do you say? Will he be yours?

What My Foster Says About Me: Marco is a total gem! He was very scared at first but he is coming out of his shell. He loves dogs (especially other Chihuahuas) and my kids. He sleeps through the night and has the sweetest personality. Marco enjoys exploring the backyard more than going on walks. He is still very shy; the bed and the couch are his safety zones. He needs a home with a patient person and a welcoming dog.
