Story
We recently brought MacTavish into our home as a rehome, but unfortunately, due to our family's needs, we aren't able to keep him. He is a good dog and knows all the basic commands. MacTavish is housebroken and is good on walks. He enjoys playing fetch and other active games. He is a very active dog who needs an owner who can be with him most of the time. He is vocal, but doesn't bark for no reason, usually to get attention or if he hears something outside. Tav would benefit from an owner who can meet his needs, including keeping him active and being home with him most of the time. He is good with having his ears and paws touched and is a very tolerant dog. Tav does very well with other dogs, but came from a single-dog household. He is great with kids, very friendly... If he does not find a home soon, we will unfortunately have to give him to the shelter. Please consider welcoming this sweet boy into your home. He will be a great addition to an active and loving family.
