You don’t need us to explain McCoy if you’ve loved a German Shepherd before. You already know. You know about the shadow. The dog who watches everything. The dog who learns your routines, your moods, and somehow always seems to know when you need him most. That’s McCoy. McCoy first came to Team Dog Rescue from Mexico when he was 3 years old. Not long after arriving in Canada, he found a family of his own. Now, at 10 years old, due to medical circumstances beyond anyone’s control, McCoy has been returned to Team Dog Rescue and finds himself starting over. The truth is, he’s a little confused…
If McCoy isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
A few things we'd have ready before bringing McCoy home, matched to their size and age.

A safe den for the first three days — sized to feel secure, not empty.
