Mack was a young shar-pei mix who was hit by a car after getting out of his yard. He had a family, but they were unable to pay the vet costs for an amputation and he was surrendered to the animal shelter.

His leg was broken in three places and the solution was an amputation.

Once he received treatment and his leg healed, he was placed up for adoption. He was adopted by a family with several small children and he fit in right from the beginning.
