Meet Mac — Director of Smiles!
Mac, a Goldendoodle, was born in July 2014 and joined the staff of Ronald McDonald House Arkansas just 10 weeks later. Mac is our very first Director of Smiles, dedicated to providing the families and children at the House with snuggles, a wagging tail, and, most importantly, smiles.
