Hi, my name is Mac but my foster Mom calls me Macky Baby because she says I have the sweetest puppy face!
I had a rough life before my owner loved me enough to surrender me to GRRH. These past 5 months have had their ups and downs. However, I am happy to report that I am finally on my way to a Happy and Healthier Life thanks to the loving care given to me with my various foster families!
My current foster Mom has worked with me and helped me gain confidence and I now have a safe place in my crate to retreat to if I am nervous. She also continued the treatment of sleeping in my thundershirt just to feel secure, but I am happy to report I don't need to sleep in it anymore!..
I no longer show extreme anxiety, sleep through the night and only have anxiety if there is a really bad thunderstorm.
While I love my foster Mommy, I am ready for my own forever home! I currently have a foster brother but frankly, I think I would be just fine being an only child as I don't really play with him. I would prefer to be your special companion and go everywhere with you! I really want a home where someone is home most of the time as I don't think it will be an easy adjustment to go to a home where I am alone for 8-9 hours a day. That is the exact lifestyle I came out of and I'm not wanting to ever go back to that again!
I love, love, love car rides and will try to get into cars of strangers if they leave their doors open! I can go to restaurants that allow dogs and lay quietly at your feet while you eat. I love my walks and never react to other dogs although I have started becoming VERY curious about the cats in the neighborhood. Mommy tells me I need leash work. I think it's because I have very definite opinions of the route I want to take....I have good manners in the house and I know to sit and am working on down and stay. I wait patiently to be told to eat, but I love treats and can be a little grabby. Mom is working on me to be more gentle and I am super smart so I will learn anything you want to teach me.
If you are interested in meeting me and think you want to love me and continue the good life I know is out there, please fill out an Adoption Application at GRRH.org. Please be sure and read all guidelines and requirements for adoption. If you are an approved adopter already, please contact your coordinator and ask if we can meet soon.
Love Macky
