Story
Meet Macie!
Nickname: Mace of Base, Macie Moo
Breed: Yorkie
Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge
Age: Golden Oldie
Weight: 14 pounds
Background: Macie was surrendered to a shelter in Georgia because her humans were moving and she wasn't allowed to go with.
Fun fact: Macie has been told that she looks like the flying nun with those amazing ears!
Foster home: Madison, WI
Activity level: Moderate
Friendly with: Dogs, cats, and older, respectful kids. Macie is a bit exuberant in taking treats, so children should be taught to offer then with a flat hand.
Meals: High quality dry small breed kibble mixed with canned, moist food.
Meds: Only on monthly preventatives. Has a slight heart murmur but nothing of concern to the vet
Sleep style: Macie sleeps on a dog bed next to the human bed, but she would REALLY love to sleep with her humans!
Snore-o-meter: 1/10. Maybe a little purr now and then.
Bark-o-meter: 2/10. A queen doesn't bark. It's unseemly.
Shedding meter: 5/10. Regular brushings and groomings will help lower this number!
Walkout song: "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. Macie greets every day with joy, enthusiasm, a hop and a skip.
Favorite pattern: Pink and sparkly. Because I am absolutely FABULOUS
Best accessory: A pair of sparkly pink cat's eye sunglasses.... and a crown. Treat me like a queen and I will repay you with love and snuggles
Favorite activity: Walkies for days! Add in a wiggle and a little jump, and that is mu favorite thing!
Best feature: her thirst for life. She wants to see it all, sniff it all, do it all, eat it all.
Favorite season: Spring. Or summer. Basically anything not cold and snowy. Also, rumor has it that y'all have lots of food on the grill in the summer up here.
Personality: Silly, energetic, sweet, delightful, loyal, attached
Macie's foster mommy says that she is hands down the sweetest, easiest foster she has ever had. Despite being an older lady, she is raring to go, ready to adventure, and walks like it is her runway and you are her hype man. She can get overwhelmed if other dogs are overly loud, and will go isolate to remove herself from the situation.
Microchipped
Spayed
Housebroken, but she is older and has a small bladder so plan for regular potty breaks. She will alert when she has to go outside.
Fearful and will bark in a crate.
Naps on car rides
UTD on vaccinations
UTD on preventatives
