Mako is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

Nobody claimed her.

Mako is a 1-year-old, 16-pound, female, Chihuahua mix.

Mako was a stray dog who was taken to a crowded shelter in Riverside County. When nobody claimed her, she was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS).

Her new family will need to give her the time and space she needs to get settled.
