About McAvoy

Meet McAvoy! He is approximately 5 years old, 65 pounds, and appears to be a shepherd mix. The NC shelter reports he knows basic commands like sit, quiet, and no. McAvoy is so sweet and loves to give kisses! Because he has heartworms, he has to stay pretty low energy, although we can tell he really wants to run around and play. He gets along with other doggie friends and even shares a room with another heartworm foster. McAvoy is working on being housebroken, he's had a few accidents in his crate which might be from some of the meds he's on. He loves to chew on bones and rope toys in his crate to keep him busy.
