Mac

Meet Mac

Mac is the sweetest boy, affectionate and loving, a true oversized lap dog. He is still young and loves to play; even though he is gentle, he may do better with older children and younger dogs. He loves children and his foster canine siblings, even the cat.

Mac is good on a leash and does not pull. He does bark at people and pets from far away, so keeping him well-socialized is essential. Mac is learning to use the potty bell and making great progress with sit and paw.

When Mac first arrived, he weighed a very skinny 37.5 lbs. Due to his previous circumstances, Mac gobbles his food and needs to be fed with a slow feeder and given water portioned out throughout the day, or he will drink till he gets sick. He is steadily gaining weight now, 55 lbs, and getting healthy, but we are unsure what his final weight will be.

He is kennel trained, but overnight he will bark a little before he settles down. He prefers sleeping at the foot of the bed and cuddling up to his foster family.

My favorite thing to eat is: Whatever I can get my mouth on.

My favorite thing to play with is: My foster sister and any toy my foster brother plays with.

My funniest quirk is: I am a Gumby dog and can bend myself almost in half.

What do I get in trouble for: Laying in the clean laundry when my foster mom is trying to fold it and, in true Pyrenees fashion, refusing to move.

What I dislike the most: Being left in my crate alone.

What makes me unique: My freckled nose, bow legs, and floppiness. They make me look like a cowboy with tassel boots when I walk.

Where do I sleep: On the floor next to the bed.

Do I love car rides: I still won't get in the car on my own, but I love being in the car once I am in and lay down like a good boy. I will try and get in the front with you, so having a divider or a seat belt is a good idea.

Where's my favorite place to go: Doggy daycare so I can play with my friends and shop with my foster mom to get dog treats.

Do I like cats: Yep, I currently live with one.

My perfect home would be: A family with lots of time and love to give me. I am the most affectionate dog in the house. I am sweet and love everyone, and I would be a great office dog.

Other stuff you should know: I was starving when GPRS rescued me, so I eat very fast and am uncomfortable with strangers near my food. I am not aggressive, just protective. But once I know you won't take it, I am just fine.

All dogs and puppies require VISIBLE fencing.
