Mac is a sweet, affectionate pug looking for humans who will choose him every time.
He’s a child of divorce, and like many little ones who’ve been through big changes, he needs time and patience to feel secure again. Mac will thrive in a calm home (he's fine around kids, but we think he'd be happiest as the only child at this time), where he can spend his days curled up in your lap, carried in your arms, and following you everywhere. He needs adopters who will prioritize his training, help him understand routines, and steadily build up his confidence so he can finally relax into a life that feels safe and predictable.
He’s working on his potty training, is completely indifferent to cats, stays aloof around other dogs, and hasn’t yet discovered the joy of toys. If you’re looking for a human-obsessed bundle of pure affection who just needs a little guidance and reassurance, Mac is your guy.
Like many dogs, he has Medial Patellar Luxation (luxating patella) in one of his legs. This is a common orthopedic issue that can be managed with joint supplements and keeping his weight down; you'll want to monitor for any changes in his walking over the years.
He's 18 pounds, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Mac is currently being fostered in Sacramento, CA.
