Mack - Black Labrador Retriever and Flat Coated Retriever Dog for Adoption in Oswego, Illinois

Meet Mack
8 years old
Neutered
72lbs

Mack (also known as Mackey and Big Mack) is a big silly boy who, despite being 8 years old, has plenty of energy and play left in him!

His long silky hair makes him a head turner anywhere he goes! And luckily he also loves ALL humans, big and small and will walk in circles around you until you pet him.

He is fostered with 5 kids ages 5-13 and is gentle and loving to all of them, and thrives in lots of noise and chaos. He also has 2 furry foster brothers, and prefers to be up-close and personal with them at all times! He is very dog friendly, but would not get along well with a dog who needs a lot of personal space.

Mack is still working on his leash skills, but does really well with a harness! He loves a little walk around the block and doesn’t need a TON of exercise. His preferred workout, though, is playing fetch with a tennis ball!

He also loves a good cuddle and will crawl into your lap or lay next to you on the couch if he’s allowed!

He knows lots of commands already- sit, lay down, drop it, and paw. And he’s a quick learner.

Mack is not a fan of a crate, since he has lived in a home without one for his whole life! But being in one room of the house when his family is gone, he’s been very successful! He’s even had a few chances to be free roaming while alone, and doesn’t make any mess or destroy a single thing!

Mack is a gorgeous, friendly, happy boy whose family of 8 years, sadly, had no choice but to give him up. He deserves love and consistency from here on out!
