About Mack

Meet Mack, an 8-year-old big boy who has plenty of playful energy left in him. Often called Mackey or Big Mack, he turns heads with his long, silky black hair. He is incredibly friendly and adores humans of all sizes, often circling around until he gets some petting. Currently fostered with five kids aged 5 to 13, Mack shows his gentle and loving nature by thriving in a lively atmosphere. He enjoys the company of his two dog brothers and prefers close interactions, so a home with another social dog would suit him best. While he is still improving his leash skills, Mack does well with a harness and loves casual strolls, though his favorite activity is playing fetch with a tennis ball. Cuddle-loving Mack will happily crawl into your lap or lounge beside you on the couch, showcasing his affectionate side. He knows commands like sit, lay down, drop it, and paw, and he learns quickly. Not fond of crates due to his history, he has proven to be trusted on his own, making no mess when left alone. Mack is a lovely, happy dog who’s looking for his forever home after being surrendered by his family of 8 years. Ready to add this big goofy boy to your family?
