Story
Meet Mack — Our Golden-Hearted Little Gentleman
Mack is a senior Shih Tzu, estimated to be around 12 years young, and he is fully embracing his well-earned “retirement era.” He’s soft, gentle, and happiest when he’s close to his people.
This sweet boy loves everyone he meets. Truly. If you are in the house, Mack believes he should be right there with you — supervising, snoozing nearby, or quietly keeping you company. He’s not demanding… he just finds comfort in togetherness.
Mack still has a playful spark, especially when it comes to his beloved raggedy tennis ball. He’ll happily toss it around and entertain himself like the independent little gentleman he is.
Because Mack is a senior, he does have some medical and care needs, and we want to be transparent so he finds the perfect home:
He has a tumor on his chest and we are currently waiting on biopsy results He also has a growth on his foot, but it doesn’t seem to bother him The few teeth he has left are worn down, giving him that adorable little senior smile Mack needs frequent potty breaks and wears a diaper indoors without any fuss
Despite these things, Mack is comfortable, happy, and full of love. He’s not looking for a long hike or a busy household — he’s looking for a soft place to land and someone who sees the beauty in a dog who just wants to be near you.
Senior dogs like Mack have a quiet kind of magic about them. They are grateful, loyal, and deeply devoted. Mack is ready to spend his golden years being someone’s constant, gentle companion.
If you have room in your heart for a sweet senior who will love you with everything he has, Mack is waiting.
Disclaimer:The information in this profile is based on observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We do our best to describe each dog accurately; however, behavior and needs may change in a new home, routine, or environment.
Our dogs are not free-roaming in homes. “Potty trained” indicates reliable crate training, not confirmed free-roam house training. Accidents may occur during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected.
All dogs have been examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered, and are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. While we provide all known medical information, we cannot guarantee future health or the absence of underlying conditions.
