Haggard Down Senior Pup Saddened By Life in Kill Shelter, Offically Placed on Death Row

Life can take many twists and turns that are so unexpected, it can leave the most emotional resilient searching for answers. For a senior pup named Mackie, he would never have thought in his 10 years on this planet earth, that his owner would betray him in such stunning fashion.



Mackie is presently trapped at the Carson Animal Shelter in Gardena, California thanks to a heartless owner who wanted nothing to do with him anymore. Carson, a city-funded, cash-strapped facility known for its notorious high kill rate, is not the place where hopes and dreams are made of to write and say the least.

Dogs are just given just a few weeks, and sometimes even days to find homes, before they are “humanely euthanized” in a bid to maintain “population control” as Carson says. For the sweet-tempered, loving Mackie, the struggle is all too real. Instead of lounging on a dog bed, playing with his toys, he makes a cold concrete slab the only solace from the sadness that produces tears right before bed time.

A Pet harbor listing for Mackie reads,

“My name is Mackie and I am described as a neutered male, sable Chihuahua – Smooth Coated. The shelter thinks I am about 10 years old.”
