**FOSTER TO ADOPT**

Meet MacKerel! 🐶
Adoption Profile:
Name: MacKerel
Age: 1 year old
Breed: Mix (he's a cutie, isn't he?)
Gender: Male
Energy Level: High
Good with: No kids (due to mouthiness)
Good with dogs: Untested
Heartworm Status: Currently undergoing treatment for heartworm.
MacKerel is a ball of energy looking for the right home to channel that energy into fun and love! This handsome guy is still learning his manners, but with patience and practice, he'll be the best buddy you've ever had.
What you need to know:
MacKerel is mouthy (think playful nipping, not aggressive), so a home with no kids is a must.
He's a leash-dodge master, but food distracts him easily.
This guy's got potential – he's treat-motivated and loves attention.
A fenced yard and plenty of playtime are must-haves for this energetic pup.
MacKerel's wishlist:
A patient owner who'll:
Give him guidance and structure
Provide lots of exercise and playtime (post-treatment, of course!)
Love him through his treatment journey
If you're ready to add some excitement to your life and give MacKerel the love he deserves, apply to adopt today! 💕 Call 248-858-1297 for more info.
