My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ADOPTED

Vivi (black) and Shep (red) are being lovingly fostered in a private home near Dallas, Texas. They have been fully vetted, and are looking for a home where they can live out their lives together. If you are interested in adopting Vivi and Shep, please submit an adoption application, which can be found on our website at www.brusselsgriffonrescue.org or contact Connie at conniel@andell.com

VIVI SPEAKS
I am a lady at heart. approximately 5 years old, 30 lbs. but I am working very hard to regain my girlish figure, and very well potty trained. I walk gently and tune into you with my lovely eyes. I also have a beautiful smile. While I really like to be in the same room with my human, I do not have to be right up in your face or your lap. Do not get me wrong, I do love affection. Just speak to me reassuringly and love on me, and I am a happy girl. who tends to follow my buddy, Shep.

A little girl came to visit my foster home, and I was so very happy to see her. My little tail nub just wagged and wagged, and I wanted to play with her. I could barely sit still because I was so happy to have a young visitor.

SHEP SPEAKS
While I keep a serious face, I am gentle and kind. I look for kind reassurance and am happy with eye contact and a pat on the head or side.

Vivi and I are tight, and very bonded, like two peas in a pod. We share a big crate and sleep together. We also like to get up on the love seat and snuggle together. (Sometimes, I need a little boost up there.)

I am approximately 5 years old, and at 27 lbs. a little round, but I am working very hard on getting fit once again. Vivi and I like to take walks. We are really good on leash.

WHAT WE KNOW OF VIVI AND SHEP
Vivi and Shep have a story: we just wish we knew what it was, and they don't know how to share it. Their eyes convey a lot of wisdom and desire to trust. Vivi and Shep do not require much, but they would really love to stay together. Do you have space in your heart and home for these two? At one time they were loved, well cared for, and their previous owner did a wonderful job of raising them. Let’s find that special home where they can continue their lives as a pair.

We knew there had to be a family frantically looking for them so we put out fliers; contacted area groomers, vet clinics, and shelters, along with posting on Facebook Griffy pages, Lost/Found dog pages, and Craig’s List. We looked everywhere in the area for “Lost” fliers. We found nothing: not one single inquiry, not one poster. We were heart broken for these two. The only reason we could imagine that no one was looking for them was that their owner must have died and whoever was supposed to care for them just let them out to fend for themselves.

So now we have two wonderful Griffs looking for a fresh start with a new family. These two are obviously bonded, so it is our wish to place them together in a home.

Please keep in mind that we prefer to place dogs within driving distance of where they are being fostered. If someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must be willing to fly in to get the dog and that can only happen if the dog is stable enough to travel in the cabin with the passenger.
