 Mac's Story
Hi, I’m Mac, a slightly senior fella that has fallen on some hard
times. My owner couldn’t keep me after all these years and sent me
to the SPCA, because she didn’t know what
else to do. Well some nice folks that do rescue and fostering came
and bailed me out and are trying to help. They brought me to live
with them here in Allentown all the way from Boston.
This week they are taking me to have my teeth cleaned, yuk! They
have been trying to get my weight back up because I couldn’t eat at
the SPCA because I was too sad, so I got real skinny, but that’s
getting better everyday.
I like living with these folks but it’s a little crowded for an
older gentleman like myself, kinda noisy sometimes too. Just so you
know I like to hang out in the yard sunning, I like treats, and
walks, being petted and snuggled, and just hangin’ out, sometimes I
get a little grumpy and forget my table manners, but not often. I’m
real healthy and wouldn’t be any problem, in fact I’m in such good
shape I can still jump a baby gate without a problem. To let you
know I will need a fenced yard to hang out in, I’m blind in one eye
and a little limited in the other and may wander off if I’m not in a
contained area. If you think you might like to provide me with a
forever home, please call my foster parents.
 Update
We've just past our 6th week anniversary with Mac as a member of
our family...can't believe he'll be leaving us next week :-( The
first week we had him, we went for a walk in the park and ran into
our friends, Gladys and Pete. We haven't seen them since then, until
today.
Mac ran up to Pete and and gave him the Wheaten Greetin'. Pete
does not let our two jump on him so we were kind of surprised. Pete
said, oh you have another dog! What happened to the sick one you
had? I asked him, what sick one? He said the old, blind one. I said,
that's him jumping all over you. Well, he and Gladys could not
believe this big, healthy, solid looking dog was Mac! What a great
compliment!!! We think he looks great but to have it confirmed by
someone else who saw him 6 weeks ago...well, that's just the
greatest feeling. We are really going to miss this old boy.....
Mac knew something was up today. Everytime one of us left, he
would run to the door with us. Makes you wonder if they really do
understand us. We told him yesterday that he was going to a new home
today.
Marty, Mac and I headed up to New City, NY this afternoon to meet
Mac's forever Mom at her friend's house that was conveniently
located between the two of us! We arrived within minutes of each
other.
 Mac was very excited to be somewhere new and to meet someone new.
He went and
leaned on Pat so that she could pet him. We spent some time
visiting. Pat's first Wheaten was a former show dog in 1979 and his
name was MAX! Just further reassured me that we had picked the right
home for our Mac.
We headed out after about an hour of pictures and hugs and tears.
As we pulled out of the driveway, Pat was giving Mac a treat from
the back of her car...he didn't even know we left. He found a nice
lady with treats and car keys...what more could he ask for! Wait til
he meets his sister and finds out he lives at the beach! Lucky Boy!

sister Alli. Alli is 14 and Mac is 11.
