Maki is part of the furniture, he is always around and waiting for a fuss. Everyone who has met him has fallen in love with this gentle giant, either from his calm presence, reliability or his howl every time an ambulance goes past. Despite his dimensions, he’s afraid of chihuahuas and ducks!
Sadly Mac has had a hard time, he came to us with heartworm and had to undergo extensive life threatening and very expensive treatment to ensure he can survive. He was bedridden for over 4 months which aggravated his other conditions. This poor old boy has severe arthritis and leg problems which we are working with vets to find out the easiest option for Mac as he has been through so much treatment already, including medication to reduce pain and inflammation enough to encourage movement.
Maki has been recently adopted by a volunteer and they are still happily living here at the Finca. He lost weight, he plays with other dogs, he runs and follows his mama everywhere!
