My name is MCGRAW!

Meet Mr. McGraw, a sweet and adorable little guy who has truly embraced the joys of a normal dog life! Watching him thrive has been a delight, and we’d love to share some insights to help him settle into his next foster home.

McGraw has not had a single accident. He’s excellent about signaling when he needs to go outside and has no marking behavior. He walks beautifully on a leash, sticking close and enjoying his strolls. 

McGraw adores spending time outside. He’s equally happy running around or just sitting in the grass beside you, soaking up the fresh air. He loves all people and is always thrilled to meet new friends, whether they’re coming into the house or he’s meeting them outside. Everyone is his new best friend!

He can’t get enough of belly rubs and will even fall asleep on his back with his legs in the air—truly a goofball at heart. McGraw takes direction well and is smart and eager to learn new things. He’s still discovering toys, but so far, his favorites include a giant rope ball, a jumbo antler, and the classic black Kong.

McGraw absolutely loves sitting in front of a fan, possibly more than anything else, and he’s remarkably calm during thunderstorms, showing little to no concern. 

He still has some puppy energy and may not be the best fit for homes with very small children, as he’s not quite into his couch potato phase yet. McGraw loves other dogs, sometimes a bit too much, and can be quite enthusiastic when he wants to play.

McGraw is improving with crate training but will need someone willing to continue helping him get comfortable with longer periods. He can stay in the crate for an hour or two when awake, and longer if he’s sleepy. He might politely bring you items he finds lying around, checking if they’re chewable. However, he’s very good about being redirected to his toys instead. No damaged shoes or objects to worry about!

McGraw prefers to be where his people and dog friends are. After a good play session, he’s ready to crash. A giant rope ball and some outdoor or safe indoor play space will help him burn off his energy.

We hope this information helps you get to know Mr. McGraw better and prepares you for the joy of having this wonderful pup in your home!
