We all feel sorry for dogs that are dumped by their owners in animal shelters. Besides, we all believe that all dogs deserve forever homes. Hearing stories about dogs getting abandoned in animal shelters is heartbreaking.
However, one puppy proves that getting dumped at an animal shelter can be the best thing to happen. A German Shepherd-Husky mix named Mackey was abandoned by his owners in front of an animal shelter’s door. He was still a puppy, and nobody knew why his owners left him.
However, animal shelter workers and volunteers soon discovered that Mackey was extremely energetic and had some strange habits. These were probably the reasons why his owners abandoned him. Mackey may not have been the perfect dog for his former owners, but he can be one for the right family.
Mackey also looks quite unique. His fur color is found in most German Shepherds, but his body type and eyes look like a Husky’s. He also has that typical personality seen in Huskies. He’s very independent but can also be a little stubborn at times.
Eventually, a woman named Hailey was looking for a dog to adopt after moving in with her fiancé. While browsing pictures of dogs available at the animal shelters nearby, they came across Mackey’s photo. Hailey and her fiancé fell in love with Mackey and immediately applied to adopt him.
It wasn’t long until Hailey figured out that Mackey was an energetic dog. She also learned about his unique personality, which she loved. Mackey’s silliness never fails to make Hailey and her fiancé cry in laughter.
Mackey grew up to weigh around 50 pounds. However, he really doesn’t realize how big he’s gotten and still thinks he’s a lapdog. Mackey loves to be carried by his human parents and often demands it. He throws a tantrum if he doesn’t get carried when he wants to.
Mackey may not be the perfect dog for his former owners. But, he’s the most perfect dog for Hailey and her fiancé. Because he was dumped in an animal shelter, he was able to meet the right people who adopted him. Now, Mackey has the best forever home. Here’s a video featuring Mackey’s incredible story of how he found the perfect family.
