When little MacIntosh first arrived we didn't even bother to post him.. he was so scared .. we knew he'd attract a lot of attention and he was so far from ready to be adopted .. While Mac has come a long way.. hes learned to walk nicely on a leash .. enjoys his doggie pals very much and has even taken to being held cuddled.. on his terms only of course!
MacIntosh is not a dog who would be an easy family dog.. he is still very much a flight risk.. he still reacts to noises and sudden movements and his reflex is to FLEE when he is startled or frightened.!!!!!
MacIntosh is a very sweet and gentle little guy who we believe would prefer to have a dog friend or two living with him.. friendly, playful human loving/trusting canine mates go a LONG way toward helping Mackie build confidence and feel safe! A quiet home and a person that has the specific experience helping a nervous dog learn to discern the difference between actual danger and novel experiences will work wonders for this precious little dog! Theres every reason to expect that Mac will become a relaxed and trusting companion.. its all there.. he just needs patience, time, encouragement and help navigating his way through new experiences.
So we are posting MacIntosh because we know there are people with lovely, peaceful homes who will love him to pieces while helping him shed his worries & fully bloom into a happy, carefree, playful, snuggly boy! Until then.. we are all thoroughly enjoying all our time with Mac and the satisfaction we all feel in teaching him to trust & helping him grow braver and bolder is enormous!
