About Mackie

Meet Mackie, a charming Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix who is around 3 years old and weighs in at a modest 6.2 lbs. Mackie was found wandering as a stray in Kensington and has since settled into the care of Nirvana Animal Rescue. He embodies that classic chill vibe, often enjoying time lounging with his favorite humans. While he may seem shy at first, he warms up quickly and soon becomes a devoted companion. Mackie gets along brilliantly with gentle dogs and cats, showing a calm demeanor even with those who may hiss at him. He’s not fond of crates and prefers to be right by your side, whether it’s on your lap or tucked close to you. While he’s been doing well with potty training outside, he does tend to mark indoors, a habit likely to improve after his neutering on October 27. Due to his small size, Mackie is best suited for homes without children under 10. His adoption fee is $350, covering his neuter, vaccines, microchip, and monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
