Griffin (New England)

Meet Griffin. He's a frisky and fun three year old Chinese Crested who came to us as an owner surrender. He's loving life in his foster home as he waits to find a family of his own. Griffin is very puppy-like in terms of his temperament! He's playful and energetic and loves his toys. Griffin is great with other dogs. He would love to have another small playful dog like himself in his foster home, as he loves to wrestle and play. He loves to eat, and even with a slow feeder dish he's the first one finished and then tries to help himself to others' food! It's best to feed him separately. It takes him a minute to warm up to a new face but once he does, he becomes a Velcro dog who stays close to his person and would not be happy in a "no dogs on the furniture" type of household. Griffin is a lapdog and loves to cuddle. He also takes his job as watchdog very seriously and he loves to exercise his freedom of speech whenever someone comes to the door or walks by the house, so he's not a great candidate for apartment living. He's also super fast and can never be allowed off leash. A securely fenced yard would make him happy, as he loves to run zoomies like the wind! He's a smart boy who learns quickly, and is doing fantastic with leash training and house training. He has no health issues that we know of and he certainly has plenty of energy. Griffin would be happiest in an adult only home with people that are around a lot of the time and who could continue his training, show him patience and kindness until he settles in, and appreciate this silly, quirky, boy and how special he is. He recently went on a little vacation to a different foster home while his other foster parents were away and settled in quickly and had a blast with the other Crested in the home and running in the fenced yard, so that is what he is hoping for in his forever home. If you think this fun little guy might be perfect for you and vice versa, please submit an application. (Griffin is being fostered in New England)
