Macio (2 y/o) is a strong, intelligent, and athletic dog who is wonderful with kids. When his previous owners couldn’t afford to keep him anymore RDR stepped in to help get Macio off the streets of North Oakland and into a foster home.
We know he was raised by a mother with three young children, and was an outside dog at their home. He came to us with a systemic skin infection caused by lack of flea medication and a bad diet. After a month of antibiotics and a grain free diet, he’s a NEW man!
His foster parents say Macio is a huge cuddle bug, and minds the house rules very well. He stays off furniture and is house broken. He’s a real gentleman!
Macio loves to chase balls, run next to a bike, jump high, and play tug. He is a major “muscle dog” and an incredible athlete. His perfect forever home would be with someone who has a yard where he can hang during the day, and a person who runs so he can exercise with you at night. While he is calm at home, and can chill very well, he’s just an athletic dog and needs to use his muscles!
As his new owner, you should be dog confident and know the Pitt Bull breed. Macio wasn’t well socialized with other dogs as a puppy, so he needs a helping hand to stay focused and keep his calm submissive attitude. He’s ready to learn, and is food motivated which makes training a ton easier.
If you are an active person looking for a companion on the trails, on the road, and on the couch, please consider this amazing boy. His love is powerful!
