My story

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

***A Day In The Life with Me***  



I sleep so well in my crate every night. In the morning, my foster mom goes downstairs and takes me out for a walk. I’m so excited to see her, I give 
her a lot of kisses. Then we go for a walk together. I love to look at the birds and the squirrels. Having three legs doesn’t slow me down at all either. Some people don’t even notice I’m missing a leg! 



After our morning walk, we cuddle and she makes me breakfast.  I like having company while I eat. I’m a pretty laidback guy overall. When I get “the zoomies”, it makes my foster parents giggle. I really like squeaky toys and fuzzy ones as well. I also like fetch, belly scratches, and did I mention cuddling? Of course, I did, they’re my favorite.  I’m a loving boy and the thing I enjoy more than anything is being with my family. My foster mom says I fall asleep in her lap a lot. I had some shy moments in the beginning but made myself completely comfortable here over time. Now, I’m ready for my forever home. I know I will be a great boy for my future forever family.



 



Foster Update: Mackinaw is an easy houseguest at his foster home...crate trained, house trained, walks beautifully on a leash. He's right at the door welcoming his foster mom/dad when they arrive home. He is a great snuggle buddy, loves to get belly rubs and treats. He is looooooow maintenance! This boy is a tripod but he does not let it affect him...in fact, you completely forget it within a few seconds! He's so handsome too...his eyes melt you into butter! Come meet Mack and you'll see...this boy is so easy peasy you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner!

ABOUT ME........Introducing Mackinaw, a male terrier with a heart as strong as his spirit. Despite being a tripod, this small-sized dog exudes resilience and charm. Abandoned and at risk in a high kill shelter, he was fortunate that MatchDog Rescue saved him from euthanasia. Mackinaw is on a quest for a forever home filled with love and understanding.



Picture a life with Mackinaw—a loyal companion who turns every hurdle into a triumph, inspiring smiles and warmth daily. His gentle demeanor and soulful eyes just beckon you to give and get hugs and cuddles. Being a tripod does not hinder Mackinaw in any way, he's able to do things other dogs with 4 legs can do. Embrace the unique bond that awaits with Mackinaw, a perfect match for those seeking a friend that embodies courage, love, and a wagging tail that never quits.



The application is easy, and the adoption fee is affordable, making the journey to welcome this exceptional pup into your heart simple and joyful. Adopt Mackinaw today and witness the magic of his indomitable spirit.
