Story
Meet Marka🧡
Marka was broght to the city shelter with his mother #AdogsDari, shortly after being born. They weren’t in the best health and some of Marka’s siblings already passed away, so the three of them were promptly rescued.
• With People : Marka loves people—adults and kids alike! He may be a little shy at first, but he quickly warms up and showers you with kisses. Once familiar, he loves snuggling close, playing around, and showing his affectionate and cheerful personality.
• With Dogs : He gets along beautifully with other dogs and even initiates play with new friends. He’s respectful and friendly, often showing his belly to more sensitive dogs and bouncing around with excitement when playing with familiar companions.
• With Cats : He initially tries to chase cats out of curiosity but quickly loses interest.
• Separation Anxiety Marka has adjusted well to being alone. He eats and uses the potty independently and sleeps calmly even when separated at bedtime, only whining briefly at first.
• Potty Training: He’s doing great with indoor pee pads but may have occasional accidents or miss the mark. He’s also recently started outdoor potty training and is learning fast!
• Grooming & Handling : Marka is generally cooperative with grooming. He takes baths well with treats, handles drying calmly, and gets his nails and ears managed at the vet.
• Walking & Leash Training : He’s currently practicing with both harnesses and collars. Marka is curious and leads the way during walks, showing great interest in people, dogs, and even birds—so a watchful eye is needed on walks.
• Car Rides : He does not get carsick and travels comfortably.
💌Special Notes💌
• As a young pup, Marka still needs training on separation anxiety, potty habits, teething, whining, mischief, howling, and barking.
• His father’s identity is unknown, so his shedding and adult size are difficult to predict.
• He’s a playful, energetic goofball with a big heart and tons of curiosity! Training him to self-regulate excitement will be helpful.
• He knows several commands: “Sit,” “Wait,” “Paw,” “High Five,” “Nose,” “Down,” and “Bring the toy!”
• He’s very food-motivated, making training easier.
• He may bark out of excitement or frustration when he wants to play with dogs that aren’t responding to him.
