About Mack

Hi GUYS, MY NAME IS MACK!

My mother was a stray dog who delivered me and my siblings in a truck yard. It was very dangerous, as 18 wheelers were coming and going where we slept and played. At first, we were afraid of humans. People would feed us, but we wouldn't come near. Finally, a nice person was able to get us to safety. My siblings have all been adopted, but I was injured and had to spend almost a month in the ER in critical care. I am finally all healed and now it is my time to shine and find my furever home! I have a few little battle scars on my leg, but I wear them proudly, as I fought to survive and made it!

Everyone says I look like my daddy, who is a handsome Labrador / Hound mix who belongs to the owner of the truck yard. I am currently about 7 months old and weigh 30 lbs. I will probably be between 50 - 60 lbs full grown. I am seriously cute, even if I say so myself! I'm a typical happy, good-natured puppy! I love to play with other K9 kids, and I love human affection as well! I run and play, and then I take a big nap! Oh, and did I mention I love treats and belly rubs! I am learning to walk on a leash and am almost house-trained too! I made it through some tough times, but LIFE IS GOOD, and I am ready for my next step...a furever home! I know we will be Best Friends! xoxo!
