FOSTER HOME IN PLACE

MCGRUFF IS AWAITING SURGERY

He goes by many names... McGruff, McGriddle, McGruber, McGiblet, so we just call him McG

McGruntles is a 1 year Maltese saved from a puppy mill.  Until coming to the rescue, he never knew that people could be loving.  He was quiet, reserved, and shut down.

After spending some time in a foster home, McGiblet has found his voice and is quite the diva!  He does bark quite a bit to get your attention.  It's a loud piercing bark 

McGruber puts his little paw up to play with you and give you the tiniest high-five, which is heartbreakingly adorable

McGriddle is NOT potty trained-- he will eliminate on pee pads.  He is not leash-trained, and thrashes around like a fish on a line.  He prefers to be carried everywhere like the little prince he knows he is.

McGobbler is only 5 lbs, but he thinks he is 100.  He 'guards' his crate and attempts to chase away other larger dogs (who promptly ignore him).  But given this, McGrumpy will not be a good fit in a home where other dogs might react to his posturing.  

Finally, McGaga does have special needs.  He has a congenital heart condition (PDA) that is fixable with surgery.  The rescue is raising funds to pay for the surgery in full to be done at NC State.  This will fix his grade 5 heart murmer. 

We are looking for someone to foster McGump through his surgery and eventually adopt.  While his current foster mama loves him, he is the sort of little dog that wants to be carried around and absorb all the attention from the human.  

Are you interested?  Please submit an application.  Preference will be given to applicants within easy driving distance of NC State Veterinary School
