About Mac

Mac is a resilient young dog, having been rescued from a harsh start in life after being tied to a fence in freezing conditions without food or water. Thankfully, a compassionate woman took him in, ensuring he was neutered, updated on vaccines, and trained. Mac has mastered commands like sit, stay, down, and go to place, showcasing his intelligence and eagerness to learn. Now about a year old and weighing around 70 lbs, he appears to be a shepherd mix with a striking tricolor coat. Mac loves to play with other dogs and is great with people, making him an ideal companion. He’s both crate trained and housebroken, but he would thrive in a home where someone is often present and with a yard to play in. Mac looks forward to finding a family who can match his playful spirit and give him the loving home he deserves. If you believe you can provide that home for Mac, consider filling out an application so you can meet him soon. Every pet deserves a family that cares for them forever.
