About Mack
Meet Mack – A Loyal, Loving Larrikin Looking for His Match!
Mack is a cheeky, people-loving boy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He’s the kind of dog who lights up a room with his goofy antics and loves nothing more than being around his humans. His favourite trick? Wiggling his way between your legs for a cuddle — it's adorable, but probably best suited to dog-savvy folks with solid footing!
While Mack has had positive interactions with mellow dogs, he doesn’t do well with pushy or dominant canine personalities. If challenged, he won’t back down — so a solo pet home is strongly preferred. That said, he could potentially live with a very calm, submissive dog after slow and careful introductions.
Mack has not been tested with cats or small animals, and due to his size and strength, a home without them is safest.
When it comes to toys, he’s not obsessed — he’d rather hang out with people. His true joy comes from being part of the action with his humans, whether that's hanging out on the couch or following you around the yard.
What Mack Needs:
Confident, experienced dog owners
A pet-free home (or possibly one mellow, non-reactive dog)
Children over 5 who are steady on their feet and understand boundaries
Secure fencing (5ft+ with no gaps)
No dog parks or on-lead doggy meetups — Mack is not dog-social in public settings
Out and About:
Mack is lead-trained and can walk beautifully — with the right handler. He needs someone who understands leash control and can confidently manage a strong dog. In the wrong hands, he’ll be pulling you down the street chasing the next good smell. We don’t recommend beach trips or off-leash areas where other dogs may be present for Mack, controlled environments and structured outings are best for this boy.
The Good Stuff:
Crate-trained
Toilet-trained
Sleeps soundly inside
Extremely affectionate with his people
A loyal companion who bonds deeply
Mack is currently in foster care near Maitland and is ready to find a forever home that truly understands him. He may not be everyone's dog — but for the right person, he’ll be the perfect mate.

If successful, you would be contacted by phone, where we will talk about your enquiry and potentially organise a meet and greet between you/ your dogs/ your family and the potential candidate
From there, you can either take your animal with you if the meet and greet was successful and their vet work has been completed- or if the vet work hasn't been completed, you must wait until it's finished before taking your new friend home which will be organised between yourself and the foster carer.
Every animal has a 2 week trial period.
