Hi there, I’m Macie—a joyful little rocket on four legs, always ready to run, explore, and turn every moment into an adventure! I’ve got a nose that never stops sniffing and ears that tune in to every curious sound, all while trotting around with the cutest prance you’ve ever seen. I love meeting new people and greet them with happy tail wags and gentle nudges—because making friends is kind of my thing. I thrive on learning new things and light up when I’m praised—nothing makes me happier than hearing I’ve done a good job. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a run, or practicing new commands (which I’m super responsive to!), I’m all in. Life with me is full of movement, curiosity, and joy. If you’re looking for a bright, eager, and playful companion who will keep you smiling and moving, I might just be your perfect match!
