Hi there, I’m Griffin! I’m such a character! I’m silly and curious and cuddly and smart, all wrapped into one fantastic friend. I’m a little on the shy side when meeting new people, but once we bond, there is no place on earth I’d rather be than right by your side. I hope maybe you’re looking for a dog just like me to welcome into your life. Maybe you need me as much as I need you? I hope so!
I’m an adorable, three-year-old boxer mix, with the cutest, frowny, snaggle toothed face that is sure to make you smile, and a delightful personality. I’m even already housebroken, and I have experience in a crate, too. I am so polite and well behaved in my foster home. I don’t bother a thing, even when no one is home. At night, I sleep on the couch or in a chair without making a peep. During the day, I do get the zoomies every now and then--I like to make you laugh, after all!
Foster Mom has loved watching my sweet personality blossom. It makes me so happy just to see her, and I am always game to do whatever she feels like doing. Sometimes we go for leisurely walks around our property, taking in all the beautiful sights and smells of nature. Other times, when she has to work, I quietly rest my head on the arm of her chair, her constant companion. I also love car rides and movie night and just chilling out on the couch together as she pets me or rubs my belly. As long as I’m with you, I’m happy!
I love running and playing and exploring in a fenced yard, but I also do well in a country setting, where my foster home is located. I don’t react to the chicks or ducks or geese, and I also successfully lived with cats at one point. I have done well with the other very laid back dogs in my foster home. We play outside together, and then coexist as we meander around the yard. They respect my space, which I like. I like to eat my meals and high value treats in a quiet, peaceful place, where I know no one will bother me. I’ll be happiest with bigger, tolerant dogs. Of course, I’ll be perfectly content as your only dog as well.
I’m looking for a low-key, quiet, calm home without a lot of commotion, and with kind people who love spending time with me. I’ll be happiest in a home with adults or older, dog savvy kids. Younger kids just make me nervous. For the right home, I will make such a nice friend. I’m just a sweet dog, looking for a simple, peaceful life with people I love. That’s all. I can’t wait to show you how it feels to be loved unconditionally. I’m an expert at that! Please, let me show you what a good boy I am.
Love, Griffin

Since 1999, The Pet Connection has found homes for more than 7,000 animals and rehabilitated hundreds of dogs and cats with aggression, fear and anxiety issues. We have spayed or neutered over 8,000 dogs and cats in our own free and low-cost clinics since 2002 and assisted another 5,800 pets with low-cost services since 2006. The Pet Connection was founded in 1999 in Mission, Kansas, to offer shelter for homeless pets, adoptions and training. We were one of the first no-kill advocacy groups in the Kansas City metro area and the first cage-free facility in Johnson County to offer education about available spay and neuter programs. In 2006, The Pet Connection relocated to a facility in Mission that enabled all dogs and cats to have their own rooms while awaiting adoptive homes or being rehabilitated due to behaviors that hindered adoption prospects. The Pet Connection currently focuses on pet adoptions, dog and cat training, aggressive dog rehabilitation, and classes for pet owners. We were the first in this area to offer free training/behavior classes to adopters.
The Pet Connection trainers and behavior members use a team approach in order to implement the ideas that have the highest success rate. Our five behavioral trainers working out of the Kansas City metro have a variety of backgrounds applicable to dog training and behavior. The Pet Connection implements positive reinforcement training methods, where the dog learns to face the trigger, but to respond appropriately. Read about our experienced trainers under “Meet the Team" on our website at www.thepetconnection.net.
The Pet Connection has always been committed to being no-kill advocates. We have been involved in many projects with local and national organizations to help Kansas City progress in how homeless pets are cared for and to improve the services that they receive. Our organization is a 501c3 charity in the state of Kansas, and has always provided thousands of dollars worth of supplies, including cat litter, food, toys, beds and dog houses, to other rescues and shelters.
