Griffin
Griffin wants to be your new BFF!
Griffin is an Aussie
and is about 2 years old.
He was just neutered on Dec. 9th, so not quite ready for adoption.
Here is what his fostermom has to say about him:
Griffin is SUCH a sweet boy!
Although he was initially nervous in every strange situation, he adjusted pretty quickly. Now that he is so comfortable with me, he has been very alert and loose wherever we go. That said, he is a VERY energetic boy and needs training. He is very food driven and loves his people so will be easy to train.
He quickly warms up to strangers although initially he can be selective with men. If they are relaxed and happy, so is Griffin! Because of his energy level, I believe a home with no young children would be best.
Griffin would love to have a rough and tumble dog sibling to play with! He can be pesty at times with the dogs here who are all seniors but I expect that will lessen over time, now that he has been neutered. He loves being out in the yard and will run and run! Once all the dogs and people go in, though, he wants to be inside with them!
He has met the cat and remained calm the whole time. She came down her cat tree far enough to give him a nose to nose greeting and he was great. He readily followed me out of the area when I left. Judging from how he tries to play with my little dog, I expect he would attempt the same with the cat if she’d come out of her area. I think he could live with dog savvy cats and learn to leave them be.
Griffin is totally house trained. I let him out pretty often so am not sure if he has a signal to go out, but if I leave the house for several hours with the dogs home loose, he is fine and has had no accidents. At bedtime, he stays quietly sleeping loose in the bedroom all night.
Griffin rides very well in the car. I use a harness and seat belt clip. He loves looking out this way and that and he is getting very good at untwisting himself!
Griffin is not a fan of medical handling. He is very loose and wiggly at the vet and loves getting attention, but as soon as the exam begins, he is nervous and reacts. We get through it with gentle handling, a cage muzzle and string cheese!
Griffin finally winding down:)
So much potential here!
I cannot wait to see all the things he does going forward!
Griffin is being fostered in CT.
There is nothing like an Aussie Butt Wiggle
and Griffin’s is the best!
