McFly, greyhound

McFly is a male greyhound dog staying at Bay Area Greyhound Adoptions Inc.

McFly is ready to make friends — he gets along well with other dogs. He's mastered his house-training etiquette, he's neutered, and he has had all his shots.

From McFly's current caretaker:

He enjoys going for walks. He would probably do better with another larger dog or greyhound. McFly likes his personal space, his comfy orthopedic bed and blanket, and loves bully sticks and nylabones (the edible kind).
