Grady is a pug/boston terrier/boxer, is 5yo, weighs 32lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped.  Grady knows 'sit' and 'off'; he is kept in a gated area with his bed during the day; he is kept in a gated area with his bed and blankets at night; he has a hard time sitting still during car rides.  Grady is fed Purina Pro Plan Complete Essentials Shredded Blend Turkey and Rice Formula High Protein Dry Dog Food.  Grady's guardian adds:  "He loves to sit on the couch with you and snuggle.  He is not a dominant dog.  He has always been with another dog to play with, but we feel he would also be ok as a single dog.  Does well with puppy interaction."

Grady's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  

"Grady is a bit of an anxious guy.  He has a hard time relaxing. When it is just my husband, he will be calm and relaxed.   When I come home Grady paces, whines and can’t relax.   His anxiety and my husbands increasing anxiety over the years no longer are compatible.   We have tried training and currently have him on Reconcile for anxiety."

Grady's guardian offers a brief a medical history:  Grady's guardian administers 3 medications for various ailments; for anxiety, Reconcile; for itchy skin, Apoquel; for seasonal allergies, Zyrtec."

Grady's guardian states the following regarding children:  Grady lives with children (ages 7, 9, and 10), so his guardian recommends his living with children, stating:  "Initially, he barks and is very excited.  Over time he calms down and tries to sit beside/wants to be petted".

Grady's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Grady lives with a dog, so his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating "Grady is reactive to other dogs.  He will bark during walks".

Grady's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Grady doesn't live with nor otherwise has interacted with cats, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats.

Grady's guardian describes him as:

Playful Likes to be touched Always at your side Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained Separation anxiety

Grady's guardian describes his ideal future home:

"Grady needs a home with a yard where he can run and play fetch—he’s amazing at it!  Also would be great for someone who is active that would take him for walks.  He would need someone that allows couch cuddling.  Would not be a good fit for someone with anxiety.  Needs to be with someone that can be patient with his barking at the Amazon delivery man."

Rehoming Fee:  $75
