Adopt MAC a Brindle Labrador Retriever / Mixed Breed (Medium) dog in Pt.

Location:

Richmond, CA

Description:

Mac is a happy, enthusiastic guy. He would love to go on adventures, exploring with his human. At the sanctuary, Mac is super happy wheneever he gets to go for a walk. He pulls hard at first, sniffing and discovering, but settles down after an initial few strides. Mac has an intelligence you see immediately when you look into his eyes. Mac is dog-selective, meaning he likes some dogs, but not all. At the sanctuary, he has been housed with several other dogs, and gotten along well, but he definitely decides who gets to be in his inner circle of trust! Mac has a few other challenging behaviors, which are manageable. He needs to go to a home with a responsible and experienced dog owner. Mac does not like enclosed spaces.....when he feels trapped he will give a warning bite. He also guards his food aggressively. When given food and left to enjoy it on his own, he is fine. One can pick up his empty bowl when he's finished, without incident. But interacting with him or his bowl while he's eating is a bad idea. He will bite. Mac will need time to warm up and will need a person who is tuned into his trigger points, and behavior cues. Mac does know basic commands, loves to show off his knowledge, craving the positive attention. He is still young and needs someone to give him extra training and also time to adjust to new surroundings. Mac is a true diamond in the rough, and just needs a dedicated, good hearted and patient person to give him the home he is longing for. If you have that good heart and patience, and you give Mac a chance, you will be rewarded 10 times over!
