The six-year-old dog was separated from her family when her owners were detained by US immigration officials (ICE).
Since then, she has faced one hardship after another.
Placed on the euthanasia list
Not only did Macey never find her family again, but she was also put on a shelter's euthanasia list. Fortunately, GSL Rescue, a charity based in the Los Angeles area, saved her just in the nick of time.
Her rescuers quickly realised that Macey was in good health and had been well loved. Sadly, her ordeal was far from over.
A string of heartbreaking rejections
Several attempts to rehome her fell through. The first family brought her back, and then a second did the exact same thing. Her most recent family wanted to adopt Macey because she gets on well with children. But sadly, they ended up returning her to the shelter because "she had peed on the carpet".
This reaction highlights the lack of patience shown to shelter dogs who have been through highly stressful situations. It is important to remember that Macey suddenly lost her first family, and she is now struggling to find her feet.
Yet all Macey wants is to love and be loved. She bonds quickly with humans and constantly craves affection. We hope this lovely dog will soon find her forever home.
