My story

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

Marcos is a 1-year-old male dog who came in as a stray, and he's bursting with energy and enthusiasm for life! This playful boy gets very excited when it's time to go out and may grab at the leash in his eagerness. With a little patience, he'll settle down and sit, especially since he's treat-motivated. He walks calmly past other dogs, focusing only on getting outside to explore.

Marcos hasn't had much training yet and can be mouthy, sometimes biting the leash during walks, but offering him a stick works as a great distraction. His manners still need some polishing, and he occasionally needs a reminder not to jump up when excited, though he's quick to correct. Despite these quirks, Marcos is a happy, curious dog with a big smile that shows how much he enjoys life.

Marcos would be a great fit for someone with the time and energy to help him learn and grow. He would probably really enjoy having a backyard to run around in and learn to play fetch. If you're looking for an entertaining and fun companion, come meet Marcos-he's ready to bring a lot of joy to the right home!

If you're interested in learning more about Marcos, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Marcos 254922."

Marcos is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
