Meet Mauii! He is such a smart little puppy! He loves to run, play, and rough house with his siblings, but will stop to get love and pets from anyone willing to give them to him! He is already responding to basic commands such as “sit”! At night, he does not poop or pee in his kennel at all, and we are still working on potty training during the day. Mauii has been great with adults, other dogs, and kids! He would love an active household he can continue to receive love and training in!

Mauii is from one of our local northern reservation partners. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
