Mackey's Story

Mackey is a 2-year-old, 11-pound little guy with a gorgeous blue merle coat and some seriously amazing eyes. One is bright blue, and the other has its own unique coloring. He's definitely a dog people notice.<br/><br/>Thankfully, he's not just a pretty face. Mackey is a friendly, happy little dog who likes people and usually warms up pretty quickly. He seems to take to women a little faster, but overall he has done well with everyone he's met.<br/><br/>Well... almost everyone. The vet may not be on his Christmas card list. Ha!<br/><br/>Mackey does well with other small dogs. Bigger dogs can intimidate him, so if there are larger dogs in the home, we'd want them to be gentle and introductions taken slowly. He's also been good with cats.<br/><br/>At home, Mackey is generally a pretty calm guy. Take him somewhere busy or exciting, though, and sometimes his 2-year-old brain kicks in and he gets a little overstimulated. Nothing terrible happens-his inner puppy just comes flying out and suddenly there is a LOT more Mackey than there was five minutes ago. <br/><br/>He does well on a leash and enjoys getting out and exploring. He rides well in the car, likes toys, and we're putting crate training in the "maybe" category for now.<br/><br/>Mackey is a fun little dog with enough puppy left in him to keep things interesting, but he isn't bouncing off the walls all day. He'd love someone who will take him places, play with him, and also appreciate hanging out together when the excitement is over.<br/><br/>And if you happen to enjoy having an unusually handsome little blue-merle sidekick following you around, Mackey can definitely help with that.<br/>Please apply here: <br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog<br/><br/>His minimum adoption donation amount is $375. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. <br/><br/>We are located in Bloomington, IL <br/>We do not ship, you would need to travel to pick up your babies if you live out of state. <br/>Your current pets must be up-to-date on core vaccines, spayed/neutered, and on heart worm prevention year round. You must be at least 21-years-old to adopt. <br/><br/>Please have your veterinarian and two non-family reference phone numbers ready. The app makes you start all over if you leave the page to look up numbers. Better yet, help speed up the adoption process by also sending us your vet records, and having your references e-mail us at Deebysrescue@gmail.com<br/><br/>For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm
