Come meet Maci. Maci is a Husky/ Terrier mix, she has an unusual and striking look due to her one blue eye, known as heterochromia, which can occur in humans as well.

Maci came to the shelter as a stray with her brother Fury. She is a sweet and affectionate young girl who likes to play fetch. She loves attention and is very smart, she is food motivated, so easily trained.

Remember when training your pet to go at their pace, consistency, and patience are key, make the reward worthwhile,
set your dog up for success and never hit or punish.
