About Macaroni

Hi there! My name is Macaroni, but you can call me Mac for short! I'm a happy-go-lucky guy with a zest for life that knows no bounds. I came to the shelter as a stray, but I seem to know a few basics like 'sit' and I walk pretty well on leash. I'm ready to find a forever home to call my own!

Ideal Home

I'd love a home with a yard, but I could do well in an apartment if I get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. If you rent, please check with your property manager about any breed or size restrictions. I'm not a fan of cats, but I might get along with a dog of similar size and energy. Sturdy, dog-savvy kids of most ages could be okay, but everyone will need to meet me at the shelter first!

Ongoing Health

I'll need to be neutered and microchipped before I go home. I've been known to mark in new environments, so I might need a little help with housebreaking, though I imagine my neuter will help a lot!

Training & Support

I love to play with squeaky toys and then snuggle up on the couch. I'm always up for an adventure, so I'd make a great hiking, biking, or jogging buddy!
