Big Mac is a lovable, oversized goofball who thinks he's a lap dog-he just hasn't gotten the memo about his size yet! With his big heart and bigger personality, he's sure to bring plenty of laughs and love to his new home.
Big Mac is happiest when he's with his people and can get a little anxious when left alone, so he'd thrive in a home where someone is around often or can help him feel secure. He's full of energy and enthusiasm, so be ready for bouncy greetings, silly antics, and a whole lot of tail wags.
If you're looking for a loyal, larger-than-life best friend who will keep you smiling, Big Mac is ready to be your #1 sidekick!
