In the shelter’s words

Mac’s Dating Profile:Name: MacAge: 6ishhRelationship Status: Emotionally unavailable… until you earn my trust.About Me • Looking for a single man to make me his whole world. • I don’t really do cuddles… but I do expect your attention. Think “best friend with boundaries.” • I need an experienced dog owner. If I’m your first dog, we’re probably not a match. • Introverts are my type. If you’d rather spend your weekends with your dog than at a crowded party, we’re already off to a great start. • My ideal human listens, respects boundaries, understands dog behavior, and is always willing to learn more. • Confidence is attractive. Ego is not.My Dream Date:Hop in the car? I’m already waiting by the door. Whether we’re going on a road trip or just running errands, I want to come.Active lifestyle required! I’m not a couch potato. The second you stand up, I’m ready for our next adventure. Runs? Awesome. A couple of long walks every day? Even better. If you’re always on the go, I’ll happily be your sidekick.Got a cat? That’s fine. I honestly couldn’t care less.Have another dog? Maybe! They just need to understand that my play style is… let’s call it socially awkward. Not every dog appreciates my unique personality.I’m muzzle trained, so I need someone who understands that a muzzle is a tool—not a punishment—and knows when it’s appropriate for me to wear one.Love Language:Quality time… with a little personal space.I’ll happily lay next to you while we watch TV, work, or relax. Just don’t mistake that for an invitation to pet me nonstop. I like being close to my people—I just don’t need to be touched all the time.Looking For:A firm, patient, active, knowledgeable man or childless couple who understands that trust is earned, boundaries should be respected, and every dog deserves to be loved for who they are—not who people expect them to be.I already have a great trainer contact who is committed to continuing my training, along with my current fosters who are more than happy to help guide/support my future family whenever needed.I’ve been waiting a really long time for my forever person, and I hope I don’t grow too old before they find me.
