He's a brown and black 4-year-old hound mix that is ready for a place to call his own. A place where he can become familiar with and bond with a family and give them some great doggy love.

Mackie is looking for a place to let loose and be a dog and he loves all kinds of games, but most importantly, he's looking for a best friend to play with. Mackie may be extremely shy at first due to some trust issues, but once he spends some time with you and gets to know you and your scent he'll go into full-on play mode.

Mackie will go home with a starter kit of food, a big fluffy dog bed, a collar, and a leash.
