Located At: BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions Description: My name is Mack. I am a neutered male, brindle and black Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix. Age: The shelter staff think I am about 3 years old. More Info: I have been at the shelter since Aug 25, 2026. I am in kennel SOUTHA12.

Two of his companions are still at BARC, although they are not on the euthanasia list yet: 🐾 Jesse ' ID #A2093227 🐾 Chika ' ID #A2093228 The fourth dog is no longer listed on 24Petconnect. ⸻ 🩺 MEDICAL NOTES: ' Heartworm LOW POSITIVE ' Neutered 9/1 ' Received DA2PP-V, Bordetella, Rabies, deworming and Advantage Multi ' Received Carprofen following neuter ' Microchipped Mack/Mick will need heartworm treatment, but heartworms are treatable and he deserves the chance to get healthy and start over. ⸻ 🐾BEHAVIOR NOTES: There is a sweet, social side to Mack/Mick that shelter notes have repeatedly documented. On intake, he greeted staff with a soft face, wagging tail and loose body. He was easily leashed, followed his handler outside and walked on a loose leash. Other notes describe him waiting at his kennel with a 'happy tail' and 'open mouth smile.' He can be a little shy, likes treats and has been relaxed while spending time outside. As his shelter stay progressed, Mack/Mick has become increasingly vocal. When another dog passed he barked toward a neighboring dog through a divider.
