About Griff

Meet Griff, a 5-6 y.o. neutered Shepherd-Pit mix, who is looking for a new home. He is up to date on vaccines and health checks. We found Griff abandoned overnight on a construction site in 2021 and we took him home. What we thought would be a foster ended up staying with us. He is a sweet, energetic, loyal, alert, and very intelligent dog who loves his human and canine friends. He has medium energy and loves to go on short hikes, backpacking, trail runs, play fetch, perform his many tricks, and is eager to learn and train (high drive). He's great at home and snoozes on the couch when we're gone, is crate trained, and is great on leash. That said, he's a complicated dog. Not long after we took him in we started to see significant behavioral changes. Whatever past trauma or lack of socialization he had likely led to his reactivity with new people and new dogs. He struggles to meet new dogs and new people in the way that most dogs do, but was very successful in working with a private trainer. With a structured routine he is able to safely meet others and welcome them into his life and be friends, and he's loved living with other dogs we've fostered. What he can't safely do is suddenly meet other dogs while he or they are off leash, and strangers can't come right up to him and pet him; he needs to feel safe and calm before engaging. There have never been any serious altercations but we are diligent to avoid any situation that could lead to trouble. We are hoping to find someone looking for a new canine companion who can provide a structured, engaging life for this handsome dog. This new family should be reactive-dog savvy and live an active lifestyle.
