To know Macarena is to love her. This brown and black American Staffordshire Terrier mix is the life of every party; she loves to play with her ball and socialize with other dogs and people.
According to Broward County Animal Care, Macarena is two-years-old and weighs 55 pounds. She came to the shelter as a stray in October 2021.
She is a sweet young lady with a great personality, and her beautiful soft eyes and gigantic ears will warm the hearts of any family. Macarena loves to be petted and enjoys attention. She would be a perfect companion for someone with an active lifestyle.
Like many other large dogs at the Broward Animal Care and Adoption Center, Macarena needs a kennel break. The shelter is running over capacity and needs the public to come out and adopt or foster pets.
To adopt Macarena (A2165967), foster, or take a dog out for lunch, email the shelter at foster@broward.org. To schedule a meet-and-greet appointment and learn more about adoptable pets, email ACADadoptions@broward.org.
The Adoption Center at Broward County Animal Care is located at 2400 SW 42 Street, Fort Lauderdale, and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
