04/05/15, a shelter staff member writes:  Meet Ivory, this sweet 12 year old boy was an owner surrender that is in need of someone extra special that can help him now in his time of need. Ivory may have a possible collapsing trachea and has been diagnosed with a heart murmur. Even though this boy is an old timer, the time I spent with him he seemed very playful and full of energy.  Give this old cutie a chance today and pull him from MACC.
