Mau was terrified when he came to Coastal. His foster mom could barely get near him for 2 days but finally he realized that he was missing out on all the fun being had by the other dogs in the house.

Kind of a cross between a German Shepherd and a whippet, this boy can run! Once he relaxed enough to decide to be a dog, he has more fun than we dreamed possible. Mau has a bit of a comedian in him - he loves to sneak up on the couch and lay on his back.

Mau gets along with everyone, he's a pretty good watchdog and while it may take him a little bit to warm up to his new family, with just a few days of patience and a lot of treats, he will be a great addition. He is housebroken but can also be a bit of a counter surfer. We are pretty sure that this habit comes from living on the streets and scrounging for food.

Mau has even had a stint with a dog sitter and was in love within 5 minutes. Mau has a funny little underbite that gives him a bit of "devil may care" mischieveousness to his facial expressions.

Mau is under 2 and also walks well on a leash. Did we mention that he is great with other dogs?
