About dogs named Mac

The following are 30 profiles of dogs named Mac from our database of 291 dogs with the name Mac.

• “Mac is a large beautiful dog that enjoys new dogs and is reactive to people. Mac does have a bite history and must wear a muzzle when meeting new people and be on leash. He is reliable off leash with dogs he knows and people he feels comfortable with. If new people can give him space and bring a fun dog with, that's our ideal playdate.“

  — Liz B.

• “Mac is a sweet little pea! He loves everyone and everything. Just happy to be here!“

  — Sydney R.

• “Hi! I'm Mac! I'm a BIG, young guy that LOVES to play and slobber and eat everything! I am learning boundaries and all my puppy commands BUT I'd rather have fun than sit and stay!“

  — Jenn M.

• “He is extremely well behaved, docile and friendly. Very well trained. He's great with kids and other animals and strangers. He's also a Dalmatian“

  — Jonathan R.

• “Mac is the sweetest most loving girl in the world but her reactions with other dogs out and about have a 50% chance of going south.“

  — Sara B.

• “I’m a 7.5 year old pup who loves to be outside, sniff all the new smells and be around my favorite people (my humans). I enjoy being around other people who will give me all the pets and snuggles but being with other dogs, I’m hesitant. I love to play fetch and run as fast as I can.“

  — Jennifer S.

• “I'm a fluffy white husky who loves to play with big or small dogs! I like to play rough sometimes!“

  — Jared L.

• “Loves to interact with other small dogs but chooses to interact with dogs larger than himself on his terms (when they're not looking at him). Playful and respectful to people.“

  — Vivian B.

• “Mac was rescued from the Euless shelter in 2020 and has been living the good life ever since. He loves sleeping, snuggling and stealing toys.“

  — Casey S.

• “Hi! Nice to meet you! The name’s Mac…I think? Or it’s probably Mack-Mack, Mackie, or Mack-dog? I’ve also heard my mom and dad call me chicken-shit and big baby sometimes. So take your pick! I’m 4 years old, and love to play just as much as I love being a couch potato. Best of both worlds if you ask me! All I know, is it’s about time my mom found sniff spot!! Letting my zoomies out and doing my parkour in the living room is just not cutting it for me anymore. I have been asking for a finished fence every Christmas for better zoomies, but starting to think Santa can’t read dog? Anyway, while I always look forward to the chaos of the farmers market, I don’t really get to run around or play with other dogs there. Doggy daycare is alright to, but this sniff spot stuff sounds a lot more promising! Looking forward to checking your spot out!“

  — Abigail D.

• “Mac is not the sharpest tool in the shed but he is sweet and very funny.“

  — Amanda G.

• “Hi! I’m Mayfield’s Bring ‘Em Back Mac JH WC, but I go by Mac for short! I spend a lot of time with my family (Dad, Mom, and Human brother), training for hunting and Hunt tests, and following Dad around at work.“

  — Zach M.

• “Very friendly and excitable! Loves to play, loves to sniff, loves to sleep… always a puppy at heart!“

  — Caleb L.

• “Rescue doggo! Sensitive lil man who gets way overstimulated on walks. He is the smartest dog I have owned. We are hoping for a Sniffspot to open near us that has agility equipment.“

  — Asia S.

• “Mac is a big boy that thinks he’s a lap dog. He loves to lay in the sun, belly rubs, and is just happy to be here. Loves all humans and children. Loves to play with other dogs.“

  — Tara N.

About the author

David Adams is a man of many passions, but his love for dogs stands above all. He is not only a dog lover, but also the founder of an innovative platform called Sniffspot. This unique platform connects dog owners with private property owners who are willing to rent out their space for off-leash playtime. While the idea of Sniffspot was initially conceived by his wife, Rebecca, David has been the driving force behind its remarkable success, tirelessly overseeing its growth and development. David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot. He strongly believes that dogs need ample space and opportunities to stretch their legs and have fun. As a result, he has worked tirelessly to build a network of private property owners across the country who share his vision and are willing to offer their space for the benefit of dogs and their owners. Despite his busy schedule, David always finds time to indulge in his passion for the great outdoors. He loves nothing more than exploring new hiking trails and embarking on thrilling outdoor adventures. Whenever he is not working on Sniffspot, he can often be found hiking or visiting multi-acre fenced sniffspots with his two beloved dogs, Soba and Toshii. He is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys the fresh air, breathtaking scenery, and the sense of freedom that comes with being in nature. David is based in Salem, MA.
