About MacGuyver

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Tan
  • Housetrained: No
MacGuyver is a four and a half month old puppy who is full of life and looking for a home for life.
He was abandoned at the vet’s office. His former owners took him in for swelling to the chest and shoulder area, told the vet to perform the necessary (and rather expensive) procedure to treat the problem, and never came back for him. The vet believes that the swelling was caused by significant blunt force trauma to MacGuyver’s chest, and suspects abuse. The problem is fully resolved and MacGuyver is now also neutered and current on his vaccines.
MacGuyver’s Foster Mom tells us: “He is a sweet little puppy. And he is feeling much better! He follows me around the house trying to grab my shoes or my ankle! I have him sitting for me now for a treat. It is so funny - he has figured it out so every time I walk in the kitchen he runs in and sits in front of me. He and his foster brother are playing really good together. I don't know how many nose shots I have. I would sit down and he would run over and try to grab the camera. He is a character. And all puppy - I forgot how much they try to eat everything.”
MacGuyver is going to need to go to a home that is ready to go through puppyhood, and understands everything that goes along with it. He will require some obedience classes to teach him the basics and give him a good grounding for life.
MacGuyver came to us on 10/23/09 and is currently in one of our wonderful foster homes for evaluation and lots of love. All of our dogs stay in their foster homes for a minimum two week evaluation period, then remain there until their forever home finds them.
If you are interested in learning more about MacGuyver, please contact us at applications@grrswf.org for additional information and an adoption application.
We serve Southwest Florida from Naples to Sarasota, and sometimes slightly beyond if needed. If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs but live outside our usual area of operations, please state that in your initial contact with us. This will allow us to ascertain whether we have volunteers in your area who would be able to assist in processing your application; unfortunately, there are some locations that we are simply unable to cover. Much as we would like to, we are unable to work with families on the East coast of Florida as we do not have sufficient representation in that area to perform home visits prior to the adoption, or follow-up visits afterward.
