About Mac Home Visit

Still, Mac already seeks out people, leans into gentle attention, and soaks up every scrap of kindness he gets.

Mac isn’t house trained yet, but with consistent positive support, he’s sure to catch on. This sweet boy gets along with other dogs and is ready to finally enjoy cozy spaces, family companionship, and the soft things in life. He’s waiting for a chance to leave his past behind for something better. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
