HISTORY: Thanks to the generosity of a very special local teen, and the Make a Wish Foundation, Nui Kane was rescued from the often over-crowded Maui Humane Society. Motley Zoo Animal Rescue was asked to find Nui Kane a great forever family and that is exactly what we plan to do!

NOTES FROM FOSTER HOME:

Nui Kane is an easy going, happy fella! He has plenty of energy but is generally very calm. He is so quiet we sometimes forget he's there until he pops up next to us looking for head pats. He rarely barks. His favorite activities include long walks, following his humans around, and performing for treats.

Nui Kane learned very quickly not to jump up on counters or stick his nose in the dishwasher when it was open. He loves being pet, and is comfortable being touched on his paws, ears, and lips. He loves making direct eye contact when you’re chatting with him. He likes his crate and hangs out in there in the evenings, but mostly likes to snooze on the carpet near his humans. Nui Kane likes toys that squeak, but will often play for a short time before putting the toy away in his crate so he can be the center of attention again! He is housetrained and is learning basic commands, and is very treat motivated!

On walks, Nui Kane is good with a slack leash, until he sees a bunny or squirrel, when he might pull or bark. He also is reactive to other dogs when on a leash, pulling and sometimes barking. He is working on his attitude in these situations and will likely need some ongoing training and practice. He is very friendly and would love to say hello to everyone he meets out walking. In dog social situations where Nui Kane is off leash he has been comfortable and non-reactive.

All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and Martingale collar (or a harness, if necessary), depending on each dog's particular needs. We also send home additional flea treatment and deworming medication for your future use.

ABOUT MOTLEY ZOO:
Motley Zoo Animal Rescue is a volunteer run, foster based, 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization based in Redmond, WA. Motley Zoo does not have a traditional shelter location, but instead, utilizes private foster homes which care for the animals individually, in a home environment, until a "furever" home is found.

Motley Zoo also runs "Rock Star Treatment" Dog Daycare & Training Studio in Redmond, WA which is a day-use facility and does not hold kennels of adoptable animals. The dogs there are owned animals who come to the facility while their families are at work and school so they can play and socialize in a safe environment. We dub this service our "Year-round" fundraising program which helps us support our rescue animals and the $15,000/ month vet bills we incur. This Studio location does have an Adoptable Cat Lounge, where cats may live until adoption, which is the exception to any aforementioned rules.

Please email adopt@motleyzoo.org and request an adoption application so we can get you started on the journey to finding a new, furry friend! Once you have been approved to adopt, then we can set up a meeting with the animal you have been matched with.

Thank you for considering adopting a dog in need!

Woof,

The Motley Zoo Crew
