Background: Maru is a 2-year-old boy with a gentle soul and a playful spirit. Rescued from a city pound in Chuncheon, Korea, in September 2024 as part of the “Save 100 Dogs” project, Maru has since been living peacefully at our partner boarding house with other dogs while waiting for his forever family.

Personality and Socialization: Maru is calm, polite, and affectionate. Although he is initially shy around new people, he warms up quickly and reveals his sweet and loyal personality. He enjoys being around his humans, often following them around. With other dogs, Maru’s personality shines as he acts as a peacekeeper. He gets along wonderfully with calm and friendly dogs, enjoying playful romps in the yard. He tends to avoid bossy or overly hyper dogs, preferring the company of those who match his gentle nature. When playing, he is cheerful and happy. Maru has no experience with cats or young children.

Behaviours: Maru is a well-behaved dog in many situations. He stays calm and quiet during car rides, making him an easy travel buddy. At the vet, he’s so gentle and cooperative that the staff often compliment him. During bath time, Maru is patient and lets his humans wash him without a big fuss. While he hasn’t had much practice with leash walks, he does well with people he trusts, staying close and not pulling. Maru prefers to do his potty outdoors but will use pee pads if necessary.

Health and Diet: Maru is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. He is parasite and heartworm-negative and receives monthly preventatives for internal and external parasites. His diet consists of dry kibble twice a day, and he has no known allergies.

Ideal Home: Maru’s gentle and calm nature makes him an ideal companion for any family. He would do well as either the only dog or as a second dog in a multi-pet household. He is a great choice for first-time dog parents due to his easygoing personality. Maru would thrive in a home where someone works from home or can include him in daily activities. Maru is a sweet, loving, and loyal dog who will bring so much joy to his forever family. If you’re looking for a gentle companion to share your life with, Maru is ready to fill that role.
