A volunteer writes: I love the way Macs constantly checks in with me as we walk down the street. It’s like making me happy is his priority. Is this a good pace? Should I do my “business” here? Surrendered for having no time for him, it seems Macs hasn’t received the best of care. He’s much too thin, has long toenails, and some sores on his body. But, Macs is such an unassuming, sweet boy. He reportedly is relaxed and playful with children, dogs, and even CATS! Macs loves toys, is very housebroken and does well when left home alone. Macs is ready to move on to the next chapter in his life. Could it be with you? Ask to meet him today!
