MAC is a ‘giddy, excitable goof ball of a young dog’ and is looking for an experienced new owner.

Cliffe Kennels Rescue Centre says that large breed experience is essential for the male cross Mastiff who is approximately a year old.

A rescue centre spokesperson said that the “giddy, excitable goof ball of a young dog is in desperate need of an experienced new home”.

“Large breed experience is essential for this lad and a home with children over 16 years where there is a large secure garden and someone with the time and ability to offer him the training needed.”

Mac doesn't appear to know any commands but is very keen to please humans and he loves playtime and adores any attention given.

The Facebook post appealing for a new home for Mac says: “He does still mouth but stops when told.

“On the lead he needs further training as he pulls initially but calms and doesn't walk too badly.

With other dogs he hasn't shown any adverse reactions to them he just wants to play.

“Mac is very excitable and being a large dog he will need a strong and capable owner to give him the training he needs.

“A very special young lad who needs a special adopter? Is that you?”
