About Macie

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Macie is a spunky senior lady looking for a special home to call her own! At 9 years old, she has plenty of sass and an attitude that truly sets her apart from the crowd. With her soft, brindle coat, curly tail, and uniquely tiny ears, Macie always turns heads on her daily walks—she’s hard to miss! She loves her walks and is very serious about her outdoor time, often showing off her spirited personality on every stroll. Her personality truly shines through, and those purple spots on her tongue only add to her charm. Macie prefers to be the only pet in the house, although she is happy to walk with canine companions as long as they respect her space. She values her time with humans and doesn’t like to share her toys or affection with other dogs, so a home where she can be your one and only is ideal. Macie has overcome some tough times, including serious skin and ear infections and recovering from ACL surgery. Now fully healed, she is embracing life with a zest for daily walks, time in the yard, and playing with tennis balls. She does have some seasonal allergies and a severe sensitivity to chicken, so seafood-based food and treats are perfect for her. Macie is looking for a caring adopter who can give her all the attention she deserves while allowing her space from small children and other dogs. She’ll make you work for her love, but the affection you’ll receive in return is priceless. After an energetic walk, she’s more than happy to relax wherever she chooses. Make their next chapter their best one yet. Furry Friends Network, Pet ID: Lynzee, PA Kennel License # 5011
