Meatball Mac is an energetic 10 year old looking for a quiet but active household. He is quite the cuddler and will find a way to snuggle up to you regardless of the situation. His skills also lie in tug of war and being a guard dog and he has saved his parents from such horrors as a plastic bag, the Roomba, someone walking their dog, and the dishwasher. He is truly a fearless and relentless protector. Despite being an old man, he is also quite the opera singer. He loves to join in on a good howl with a bark only a mother could love and has quite the selection of "Chihuahua grumbles" to accompany his daily activities.

Mr. Mac came into our rescue with a good amount of anxiety. Through a lot of training and a daily dose of anxiety meds, he has now learned to cope with his feelings. He is still not afraid to let you know when he's uncomfortable, but his threshold for that is much higher and he's very polite about it. He will need a home that is willing to continue his training and remove him from stressful situations when the need arises. 

If you're looking for a well-seasoned gentleman that is always down for a walk or some sun-bathing and are willing to fall in love with his quirks, then Meatball Mac may be the guy for you!
