Meet McGraw, a friendly natured puppy with a spirit as sweet as a country tune.

McGraw is a shy, gentle boy who may take a little time to adjust to his new home, but once he’s comfortable, he’s sure to win your heart. He thrives in a calm, consistent routine, and although it might take him a few weeks to get to know his new family, he’ll show his affection in his own sweet way.

Currently living in a home with working adults (remote/hybrid), children ranging from elementary to high school, a resident dog, and guinea pigs, McGraw has shown that he’s very adaptable.
Despite his nervousness in new situations, he has never once growled or barked—he’s a quiet and calm companion.

He’s fully crate and potty trained, though he may have the occasional accident if he gets overly nervous.

McGraw’s energy is low to moderate. He sleeps most of the day, but he does have bursts of energy in the evening. He’s perfectly content with a plush toy or rope in his crate to keep him busy at night.

He doesn’t need long walks—just a quick trip outside to do his business and he’s good to go!
He’d thrive best in a home with a fenced yard,

One of McGraw’s most endearing qualities is his calm demeanor when left alone. He doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety and will happily relax in his crate without crying when you’re out of the house.

If you’re looking for a laid-back, loving companion who thrives on routine and is patient as he gets to know you, McGraw just might be the perfect addition to your family.
He’s waiting for a kind soul to offer him the calm, consistent environment he craves. Will you be the one to show him that home is where he belongs? 💕

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. Our dogs reside in various locations throughout the South and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
