Makua earned her name, which means "parent" in Hawaiian, because she is the mother of the MUSHR sisters Aloha and Mahalo! Like her daughters, she came to MUSHR from the Red Lake reservation. Makua is a husky mix, she is yellow and has brown eyes. She is a big girl, around 70 lbs., so we are working on dropping a little weight - about 15 or so pounds need to come off! But being a big dog doesn't slow her down, she has plenty of energy for long walks! She is between 1 and 2 years old, so she is a young dog. Makua's mommy traits come out around other dogs, she is patient and gentle with them. She also does fine with the resident cats in her foster home, she doesn't pay them much attention. As for humans, Makua certainly isn't shy! She looks for pets from everyone and thinks she is a lap dog, even at 70 pounds! One great thing about Makua is, while she has plenty of energy for activities, she isn't hyper or destructive like young dogs can be. She's also housebroken and pretty well crate trained. We are working on basic commands such as 'sit' and 'down,' she is a smart girl and will learn fast! If you are a looking for a sweetheart and a dog who has a lot of love to give, Makua could be your girl!
