My story

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

After being neglected as a puppy, placed in an inappropriate home environment, and then a year in witness pawtection with his trainer, its time for Ortlund to find a new family.
If you are looking for a partner through life’s struggles and healing this pup might be a good fit for you. He has had a significant amount of trauma in his life that he is healing from. He has made strides in his healing process and is ready to start looking for his forever home. He will need someone who is ready and willing to navigate the remainder of his healing with him and is willing for him to make a slow transition into your home working side by side with his trainer. While continuing to heal he has
also learned some wonderful things. He knows basic obedience, he also knows how to maintain specific boundaries given in different environments, he excels at leash walking even in a distracted environment. He loves his trips to Home-depot, Petsmart, and DC. He will need consistent exposure to different environments, does great with other dogs and cats if he is slowly introduced to them, and loves to go
trail running. He is named after Dane Ortlund who wrote gentle and lowly. He is a gentle dog who has suffered greatly and needs a loving, patient, and compassionate home.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We understand the desire to meet our animals as soon as possible but because we operate entirely out of foster homes, we need to limit pet visitation to approved applicants only. Once your application is completed by you and approved by Saving Grace, we will be glad to schedule your visit.
