Grayson

(DOB 06/17/2022) If going for a peaceful walk (he walks great on a leash) and then relaxing at home is your idea of a great way to spend your day, Grayson is your guy. He's the perfect combination of playful and chill. After a good walk and some mild play in the back yard, he's ready to lay on the couch and be with his humans. His greatest joy is to just be near those he loves, leaning into your legs when sitting on the floor or next to you to you on the couch. Grayson is a gentle and extremely sweet boy. He's a very gentle dog who listens well and learns fairly quickly, especially if treats are involved. Grayson needs his forever human to spoil him! So do you want a more chill dog; one that doesn't have all of that still "crazy puppy energgy"? Well, here you go, because Grayson isn't trying to win any frisbee contests! He will; however, win first-place in snuggling every time! He has been good with children, other dogs, and cats in his foster home. His playtime w/his 4-legged foster siblings can be a bit rough and tumble at times, so best to have him with dogs his size and strength. He is a little on the shy side with strangers, but warms up quickly. We are seeing his wonderful personality emerge. He can be a little skittish when it's really noisy or too many people are jumping or running around, so he would probably do best in a calmer home. If children are in the home, he would likely do best with older children who are dog experienced due to his size. Grayson, even though super sweet and affectionate, we don't think he is the perfect match for a 1st time dog person. He could still use someone who is confident and help guide him through new life experiences. Grayson wants a wonderful secure 5ft+ fenced in back yard. He has been found diging some holes at times (ooops, sometimes ya just gotta be a dog-dog!!) Grayson says, no dog parks for him; just not his jam. Grayson is house-trained and crate trained. He sleeps through the night. He has some resource guarding of food with other dogs, so is fed separately, in crate. He does not resource guard food or other things with humans. If you're looking for a sweet, tender-hearted dog to add to your family, Grayson checks a lot of great boxes with the potential to check them all. He has beautiful brindle markings that sparkle in the sun and his big brown eyes will melt your heart. He is ready to begin sharing his love with you!! As part of Grayson's $300 adoption fee, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
