A volunteer writes: My sweet Macho–Macho is a 9 year old boy who looks like a real-life Ewok, straight out of Star Wars. And with an under-bite, he could not be cuter if he tried! Macho is an affectionate, adorable little guy. He climbed right into my arms as soon as I opened his cage, and we were off to the park. Macho love, love, loves to sniff any and everything that he comes across. Seriously, everything from East 110th to 112th Street has been thoroughly inspected and deemed safe by Macho! Macho walks very well on his leash–he has a spring in his step and is very polite around people and other dogs. He loves getting loved on by his human friends and is a soft, warm, and cuddly guy to hug. If you’re looking for a pint-sized best friend with a big heart and the nose of a bloodhound, then come on down and meet Macho!
