Mako Labrador Retriever & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Newport, NC

Mako is a charming and friendly young man. He is athletic, playful, and funny, but he is also affectionate and loves to show his humans love and affection. He is a happy guy who is always eager to play fetch with his favourite toy or a ball and he loves to make his human friends happy. He is a smart boy who is house trained and knows some basic commands. He is a sweet and loving dog who would make a great addition to his new family who will help guide him into his new way of life. Mako came into the shelter 8/20/24 when his owner couldnt keep him. He is 1 and a half years old and current on shots. If you think that you can give Mako the forever home he is looking for, please stop by for a visit with him and see if he would be a good fit for your family!
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
