Macy

My story

Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 Web Site: www.aberdeenstr.com ***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation*** Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues. WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS. Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog. We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes in WA state, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA. Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Zelle, or cash. We no longer accept PayPal because of the percentage they take & their fees. It’s so disgusting to think this is allowed to happen. Beautiful Macy’s, mind body & soul was being used as a breeding machine in Missouri to make money off her back. We were able to bid on her & in fact bought her to stop having a life of misery over & over again for evil human beings to make money off her. Living her life outside in the stinking heat day after day then in the freezing cold in winter time in a metal tin can of a shed was over. Her life was instantly changing in that moment & only for the better. On this day we rescued a total of 21 breeding mum & dads who all they knew was to breed in a life of hell & then being sold. Now the real healing, love & devotion could begin & show Macy how she is supposed to be loved & adored in a loving forever home Macy was bought back to the WA state where she is now so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home. What these sweet souls see & hear is just disgusting. After everything she has been through its miracle she has built trust. She is beyond grateful to get out of that hell hole she was in & radiates gratitude. The reality is, the foster homes are her real first experience at being in a home, with a tv, bedding she can snuggle up in, a roof over head that’s not outside. Macy’s foster mum said, Macy- poor girl is so anxious but has improved drastically. We can now pick her up without spending 45 minutes to corner her & she doesn't try to bite you when you pick her up. She's very playful in the morning & likes laying where the blanket & pillow meet, like a person. Macy adores her fellow rescue friend Hudson (Sid) & he has become her buddy & made her feel comfortable & they love each other. We would love to get them adopted together to help them thrive but understand it may not happen so she would need time patience & understanding in her new home but she has come such a long way with her trust. Prior to the wonderful foster home the only time she was touched or handled was when she was forced to breed so now building that trust in her foster home is so wonderful. This amazing foster home understood the hell she had been through & have taught Macy what love is. She adores comfy beds & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, this is something she did not get to experience ever until she was rescued. She would still need work walking on her harness & leash. Macy rides fine in the car & considering the only times we know of before was when she went to auction to be sold & when we rescued her but this is it for her car rides. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lady only. She spent her whole life confined for breeding. Macy as you can imagine spent such a long time in a caged environment. We are also looking for a forever home for Macy where someone is home during the day or she can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. When they find someone who treats them as they should be treated & loves them they get so attached to them. Macy is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be patient with her & never give up on her. Macy has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes in the rescue & in her loving foster home. Macy needs to go to a forever home with another dog or dogs in the home, she enjoys the company of other dogs & we currently have her with another dog that she is friends with in her loving foster home. Please do not apply saying your neighbors have a dog or family members or you will take her to places where there are other dogs. That will not work, another dog or dogs is mandatory along with a fully fenced backyard. Macy is roughly 10 lbs & she is 5 years old. She is a miniture poodle, what she is mixed with we are not sure, female, she is spayed by laser by our wonderful vets. She had a dental scale & polish & dental x-rays & had 3 incisors & 2 molars removed. She is microchipped & is up to date on her shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies & dewormed. We have spent far more on Macy with paying for her from a puppy mill auction in Missouri. Bringing her to WA with her travel costs, her transportation to WA. All of her medical care in WA etc & bringing her to WA than her adoption fee comes close to covering. Her adoption fee does not even cover half of what we have spent on Macy. Macy has not been around cats since being in the rescue, but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had her around small children so we do not recommend small children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when Macy was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is. As with all of our rescues & Macy’s friends she will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Macy potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Macy & going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on. Or you waste this rescues time, will remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit via WebEx or Zoom due to covid & followed by a meet & greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Macy who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this special sweet little lady. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Macy has an adoption fee of $1250 & is ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Macy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
