About Mack

Mack was found abandoned on the side of I-95 in Pembroke Pines as a youngster, rescued by a good samaritan in August 2022. Even then, his high spirits stood out—at just a year old, he was all energy and rubber-ball resilience. Today, Mack still craves that same invested, attentive home. He needs someone who won’t just keep up, but actually likes having a devoted, slightly anxious ‘velcro’ dog. He’s completed two weeks of training and may go back for vibration collar work, since his nerves sometimes get the better of him. Mack plays well with female dogs and is generally upbeat around males, though his rough, rowdy style isn’t for every canine housemate. He needs an adopter with real bully breed experience—and solid HOA or insurance approval. If you can match his need for connection and activity, Mack could be the dog glued to your hip—in a good way. The unique blue and green eyes are just a bonus. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
