Mackey is a true powerhouse who was rescued from a life of solitude, living outdoors completely on his own. Despite his challenging past, this incredible boy has emerged as a fun-loving spirit with an infectious enthusiasm for life. Mackey's journey from isolation to connection is ongoing, and he's proving every day that with the right support, remarkable transformations are possible. Trust doesn't come easily to Mackey - his years of self-reliance have taught him to be cautious around new people. However, with proper introductions and generous amounts of time, he gradually learns to share…
If Mackey isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
