Mac

My story

Meet Mac — The Sweet, Shy Little Cream Pug Looking for Her Safe Place 💛 Age: 4 years Breed: Purebred Pug Size: ~12 lbs Personality: Gentle • Affectionate • Sensitive • Loyal Mac came to us after her family took on major caregiving responsibilities for an elderly relative and could no longer keep up with the dogs’ needs. She has been loved her whole life, and now she’s ready for her next chapter with a family who can offer patience, stability, and the soft landing she deserves. 🧁 A Soft, Sensitive Soul Mac is a sweet, affectionate little girl who loves being close to her people. Once she trusts you, she leans in for pets, welcomes gentle touch, and enjoys being someone’s safe spot. Around strangers, she can be timid — she’s the type who needs slow introductions, a soft voice, and patience as she warms up. Once she feels secure, her loving nature shines. 🏡 Her Ideal Home Mac would do best in a calm, understanding household where she can set the pace. She’s: ✔ Potty trained ✔ Crate trained ✔ Affectionate once comfortable ✔ Non-guarding with people or toys ✔ Good with routine and structure Mac can become possessive around food when other dogs are nearby, so if she goes to a home with resident pets, she will need to be fed separately with clear structure and boundaries. She has not had much exposure to other dogs or animals, so slow, controlled introductions are important. 🎧 Noise-Sensitive & Stranger-Shy Mac can react fearfully to unfamiliar people and loud noises like fireworks, thunder, or vacuums. This isn’t aggression — it’s fear. She simply needs a patient adopter who can help her feel secure and give her time to settle in. 🐾 Health Mac appears healthy and in good condition. She will be spayed and updated on all vaccinations and preventatives prior to adoption so she can start her new life fully vetted and ready to go. 🌟 Why You’ll Love Her Mac is a gentle, sensitive girl who wants a person of her own — someone who understands that shy dogs aren’t broken; they just bloom at their own pace. She has so much love to give once she feels safe, and she’ll reward your patience with loyalty, affection, and quiet companionship. 📩 Ready to Give Mac the Life She Deserves? If you’re looking for a sweet, soft-hearted pug who just needs someone to believe in her, Mac may be your perfect match. Apply to meet her and help her start the next chapter of her story. ❤️
