About Big Mac

Big Mac is a big-hearted, affectionate dog who came to the shelter as a stray from the Winona area. At about 4 years old, this large Boxer/Great Dane mix makes friends easily—he’s been friendly with the other dogs and even the office cats at the pound. He arrived with a short, tan and white coat and, despite his time on the move, keeps his kennel clean at night, so it’s likely he’s lived indoors before. Big Mac is one of those dogs who tries hard to connect and seeks out pets or snuggles from people once he feels comfortable. He’s hoping to find a family who’ll appreciate his sweet nature and give him the secure home he deserves. For anyone ready to welcome a loyal companion, Big Mac awaits in Lisbon, OH and is more than ready for adoption. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
