Here's what the humans have to say about me:
McGregor is a 10 month old fox red male neutered labrador retriever who weighs about 53 pounds.
McGregor is a very timid, shy boy. He is sweetly and very carefully trying to navigate his way with humans. He will require a patient home that will continue to work with him and his insecurities.
He must go to a home with other dogs. He enjoys the company of other dogs and he will play if invited. He whimpers when separated from his buddies.
McGregor is house trained and crate trained. He will head into his crate without being asked as he finds it a safe place to hang out. He likes to take it slowly when getting to know his humans. With time he has started to snuggle up in bed, sit when asked, and take food ever so gently from his foster human. McGregor is easily frightened and will do best in a quiet home with a secure six foot physical fence. He is just learning about steps and for now will live on the first floor of a multi story home. He is not ready to venture out for walks right now preferring to stay at home with his canine buddies
UPDATE: McGregor has arrived at at his fosters home and is settling in nicely and learning the ritual of the house. When McGregor first arrived, he was very shy and didn't want to interact with anyone. He quickly overcame his shyness with the pack and engaged in play on day 2. Learning to trust the humans took a little longer but, by day four he let me pet him and now it is a daily occurrence. His favorite spot is behind the ears.
He will need to go to a home with another confident pup (or two) to show him the ropes and people who are patient with him. McGregor will warm up to you- on his own time. Humans just need to let him be for a bit so that he figures out that you are okay. He is excellent in the crate and goes right in. He currently spends the night on a dog bed in his foster Mama's room and is very happy there. He hasn't learned about toys yet but, he does show interest in a ball when thrown and I think it is just a matter of time before he learns how to play fetch.
McGregor loves to be outside. He is learning however, that the inside might be a little better :) and comes in for a treat or two. Speaking of treats, he takes them oh so gently. He is 100% potty trained. He is pretty calm for a one year old and is perfectly behaved in the house despite his age. I can't forget to mention his good looks as well. He is simply adorable.
This beautiful boy loves playing with all dogs. He wants a home with least one other furry 4-legged friend but the more the merrier for him. He also wants a 6' tall privacy fence as he loves being outdoors.
McGregor is in the tail end of his HeartWorm treatment and is ready to find his new forever home! I can't rave enough about this sweet boy.
Here are a few key points:
He is very low energy for a one year old.
He is perfect in the house and doesn't touch a thing.
He is fully crate trained but doesn't need it.
He is fully potty trained.
He sleeps on the dog bed all night and doesn't make a peep.
He takes treats in the most, most gentle way.
He LOVES all other dogs!!
He is a perfect shade of fox red and he loves his ears scratched.
He LOVES to make his Foster Mama laugh
He is a morning puppy. Morning is his happy time.
