Makai 🐾
Therapy Dog (in training)
Makai is a Labrador retriever born 5/15/2024 to parents Leilani and Maui. Makai’s name has a few meanings. It can mean “seaside” or “toward the sea”, as well as, a “gift from God” when considering Hebrew origin context. Makai will be trained to provide aid and comfort to our clients and families. We are so excited to have Makai as part of the Blue Tide Therapy family!
