Let me introduce you to Maru—a scruffy, sweet-natured pup who’s ready to trade the harsh streets for a loving home.
Just a few weeks ago, Maru was found wandering the streets of Austin, Texas, in rough condition. Despite his tough start, his charming personality shines through. He’s sweet, calm, friendly, affectionate, and gets along well with both kids and cats.
Estimated to be between two and four years old, Maru is currently recovering from surgery for a double ear infection that had caused swelling and limited his hearing. But don’t let that deter you—he’s on the mend and ready to bring joy to a new home.

Due to shelter crowding, stories like Maru’s are not uncommon. Sonal Patel from Rescue ATX Dogs emphasizes the importance of community involvement in rescuing animals like Maru.
Maru is just one of the many dogs with Rescue ATX Dogs in need of a home. Some were previously in city shelters, while others, like Maru, were found living on the streets in unsafe conditions.
If you’re interested in meeting Maru and potentially giving him the loving home he deserves, reach out to Rescue ATX Dogs to start the adoption process.
