About Macie

Macie is a lovely Australian Shepherd who recently arrived at the shelter due to a change in her family situation. At 8.5 years old, she carries a sweetness that shines through her gentle demeanor. Having lived indoors, she's house trained and knows commands like "sit" and "stay." She enjoys walks on a leash and is well-behaved in the car. While she has a long coat that requires some grooming, it's a small price for the affection she brings. Macie does best in quieter environments and might not be ideal for homes with small children, as she can be frightened by loud noises such as fireworks or gunshots. Fortunately, she gets along well with cats. If you're looking for a calm companion who is ready to settle back into a loving home, Macie could be the one for you. Think you are the one?
