Description
Sweet Mac was picked up by animal control and brought to a shelter. Upon her arrival it was highly evident that she was in need of medical support. Mac could pull herself up on her front two legs, but struggled to move her back end. Shelter staff immediately got her into a vet to see what they could do to help this lovely little girl. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Mac had a fractured pelvis, close to the right hip, and a dislocated left hip. It is presumed that Mac was hit by a car. She would need surgical support to help her move forward. Unfortunately, this was not an option at the shelter and would likely result in Mac being euthanized. In an attempt to save her life, a plea for help went out. MAGSR's volunteers knew they needed to help.
Mac is an absolute sweetheart. Even with the significant amount of pain that she is in, Mac is still gentle and affectionate. Her lovely eyes simply tug at your heartstrings. We have already begun working with Mac's surgical team to help her move forward. Mac will need to take it slow as she heals; however, at her age, a full recovery is expected. As a young girl, Mac is still learning all about the world around her. She, just like any young pup, will benefit greatly from continued socialization. This is critical as it will help her develop into a stable and confident adult. Mac is looking for a family that will love and cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.
Updates
It has been an absolute pleasure to have Mac in our home. She is a complete love bug. Full of tail wags and kisses, Mac may not have always been treated kindly by humans, as is evident from her emaciated frame and bullets in her tail; however, she remains interactive and social. A fan of people and kids, Mac welcomes everyone with kisses. Living with other shepherds, Mac takes a moment to realize that she is safe and then immediately begins interacting with the same little wiggles that she shows everyone. Although we do not know much about Mac's past, she is housebroken and crate trained. Mac settles very nicely in her crate and enjoys a cracked moose or elk horn to keep her entertained. A fan of toys and balls, Mac is playful and entertaining but is not a high energy dog. She enjoys her playtime but is also happy to curl up and relax. Mac is still learning to adjust to the world outside. She enjoys her daily walks but is still developing confidence when encountering new items or sounds. Having been hit by a car, Mac does pause when cars are moving near her. However, daily practice is helping her move forward. Mac is looking for a loving forever home that will care for her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.
