MacKenzie T German Shepherd Dog San Juan Bautista, CA

Hi Prospective Adopters! My name is MacKenzie T, a name I really like. However, if you prefer you can call me Mac for short. I am a male German Shepherd weighing about 52 lbs, and the shelter said I was 11 years old. I still have lots of energy and since I am on a medical regimen to help my arthritis and pain issues, I am acting more like an 8 year old which turns out to be my estimated true age. Well, OK, short walks are best for me and I do have some difficulty with stairs, but I am still a bouncy, friendly boy, good in the car, social, and pleasantly vocal. Something I am proud of is that I am quick to learn, well behaved with large dogs and older kids. Because I have lots of energy, I do tend to pull on the leash and can be reactive to other dogs and people depending on the situation. I get very excited when people come to see me, especially at meal time, and will often try to jump on them. I am slowly learning to control this behavior but I need to keep working on this. I welcome a structured lifestyle where I know what is expected of me. I have a zest for life even though I was found as a stray with no home to call my own.

We agree with MacKenzie! Mac is a dog that will sweep you off your feet with his energic, friendly and loving nature. Whoever takes him home, his caring and gratitude will always be present. What a wonderful dog he is!
