Mack was surrendered to a shelter due to allergy issues. The poor guy was severely underweight and had open sores over most of his body. This boyās foster home has done amazing work with him in just a short time ā he has put on weight and his skin is healing nicely! He will need to be on medications for the rest of his life. His vet team has him on apoquel and ketoconazole.
Now a few words from Mack:
āHi, everyone. Thanks for checking in on me. Iām still looking for that special family to understand me. I like everyone I meet and I love going on adventures. If you have a couch I could snooze on all day, thatād be great. I do like to play sometimes, too. If youāre looking for a sun bathing buddy, then Iām your guy. I could lay out there all day. My foster mom says Iām not very good at coming back inside during peak sun bathing times. She just doesnāt understand Iām having a blast out there. Other than that, I love to be next to my foster mom as much as possible. I even like being held like a baby, like I said, I just love being with my mom.
My other favorite things include eating. Iād really prefer it if I could be left alone to eat. I donāt like to share my food with even my mom. So, if my new family could just give me a little space, Iād fit right in. Please also donāt take toys or even objects Iām not supposed to have from my mouth. But, Iām always up for a game of trade. Just give me something else to chew on instead.
I do love kids, but sometimes I get a little bit of an attitude, as my foster mom calls it, so itās best Iām not around young children.
Anyway, mom is calling me in for cuddles so I gotta run now. Contact my people to talk about me more , please!ā
UPDATE:
Mack is a playful kiddo who loves to run all over at the dog park and his foster momās back yard. He likes sunbathing and outdoor adventures or being inside with his family. He attends lots of IBR events and is always a hit with the crowds. He is an honorable citizen with other dogs(big and small) and cats. Mack can be a jumper so we strongly caution against him being allowed with children or adults that could be toppled over easily. He is a stout kiddo who loves to give āhugsā. Mack is higher energy than most but will snuggle just as easily. He loves people, couches, or beds to lie on. He isnāt picky. He will need a strong leader who can handle him but he is a sweet boy who loves to go on adventures and outings.
Mack does have some object aggression which can be easily managed, so donāt let that detour you from reading further. Simply put, Mack needs to be fed alone, and left alone until he is finished eating but, honestly, donāt we all wish for some peace at the dinner table. At times, he may decide an object is his, when in reality, itās not. His foster mom has come to understand he will happily trade one object for another, as long as itās a fair trade. Mack is no dummy, but he can be easily bought. Mack is very food motivated so treats are the way to his heart.
Please consider Mack for your family. He has been on the rescue trail long enough and itās time to get this baby home. Thank you for choosing adoption.
