Meet Mac. Mac is 16 months old and a 70lb lap dog. He is a Hound/Shepherd mix-16 different breed to be exact according to his DNA test. We adopted Mac at 6 weeks old. He is accustomed to lounging and living the best life.He prefers his own spot in bed, and wants to snuggle despite his size. Mac suffers from separation anxiety, and is reactive with some animals and small children. After extensive conversations and medication trials with his vet, we and his vet feel it is the safest option to find him a home with no children. We are foster parents as well as having our own children it is not safe for Mac continue to stay. We love him dearly and want him to have the best life.
