Story
Meet McGee: The Elusive Girafuahua
Narrated in your mind by Sir David Attenborough, please.
In the wild and wonderful world of rescue dogs, there are many fascinating creatures. But few are as rare, as leggy, or as delightfully entertaining as the elusive Girafuahua.
At first glance, McGee may appear to be a young Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix. But look closer. Notice the small athletic body. The impossibly long legs. The alert expression. The ability to stretch, perch, observe, and somehow know exactly what is happening on every counter, couch, toy pile, and human lap within range. Truly, nature is magnificent.
McGee is friendly with humans and loves being part of the action. He has been a fan favorite at social outings.
He enjoys toys, walks nicely on leash, and does well in the car. Potty Trained and Crate trained! He is also an expert treasure collector. Stuffies, bones, and beloved toys may be carefully gathered and relocated to his bed, where he can admire his collection like a tiny museum curator with giraffe legs.
Like many rare species, McGee has bursts of joyful energy followed by serious cuddle time. He loves to play, explore, and proudly carry his treasures, but he is equally happy settling into a lap with his favorite person.
McGee can do well with other dogs, especially with proper introductions and playful companions. However, this long-legged gentleman takes his relationship with his people very seriously and can be a little possessive of them around other dogs. He will do best with adopters who can provide structure, boundaries, and gentle reminders that love is not a limited resource.
Adopt McGee, and prepare to share your life with one of nature’s most remarkable little long-legged wonders.
