Hey, I’m Mace! I’m a sweet boy looking for my forever home. I was rescued from living life on a chain and brought into the Independent Animal Rescue program. I’m only 1-year-old and they say I’m very well behaved. I love other dogs and even though I’m a little shy I aim to please. I promise I’ll listen and make a fabulous pet. Won’t you adopt me?
Meet me at the PetSmart in Durham this Saturday from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. The adoption fee is $150 and includes: a behavior assessment, routine deworming, distemper/parvo vaccines, rabies vaccines, (12 weeks of age and older) heartworm test, heartworm preventative, neuter surgery prior to adoption and microchipping.
About Independent Animal Rescue:
IAR started with one woman’s big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless numbers of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501 (c)(3) status in 1995. IAR is currently governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and supported by over 100 unpaid volunteers. There are no paid positions within IAR, so 100% of all donations directly support animal care and rehabilitation.
