My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Macha is lovely young pup who is back in the shelter after a couple of stays in foster. Here’s what we learned about her:

- She is a very playful puppy
- She does great in the car
- She has done well with kids (ages 8+)
- She is very smart and has already learned to “sit”
- She is potty trained and crate trained (always allow for time adjust in a new home!)
- She is very active but she is also the perfect snuggle bug who will happily be your napping companion and loves to sleep near you at night
- She thinks adventures are THE BEST
- Has done great meeting other dogs- even small ones!
- Likes treat puzzles and LOVES stuffed toys
- Friendly, spunky, silly, fun, adventurous, sweet, affectionate, energetic, and cuddly

Here’s what volunteers have said about Macha:

“Macha is a playful and bouncy girl who`s always excited to leave her kennel. She prefers going to the play yard where she can show off her fetch skills. She`s good at jumping up in the air to catch tennis balls too. I took her out twice this week and had a lot of fun.”

“Macha is enthusiastic for walks, eager to please, and walked nicely by my side when exploring. Great smile and rapidly wagging tail when receiving praise! She knows `sit` and will happily jump up on blocks and benches when directed. Macha is a great dog!”

Macha originally came to PACC very skinny and unable to fully use one of her legs due to untreated valley fever. In foster she gained weight and she’s responded well to medication- these days, she’s running around without a care in the world! Macha is a high energy, athletic lady and would love to find a family who will keep her busy. She loves to learn and would thrive with mental stimulation as much as physical exercise. Macha has been playful and social when meeting other dogs in playgroup, though a proper dog intro is always a good idea. She needs to eat separately from other pets in the home because sharing is hard- who wants to share their food!?! Certainly not me! Ask to meet Macha today!
