Howdy, I’m Griffin!
I was born as one of six puppies in a local family in the town of La Salada. Sadly, we were neglected in our first stretch of life, and four of my siblings passed. A local animal advocate named Jimena spoke with my family and they agreed to give my surviving sibling and me up so we could receive the care we needed. We were rushed to the doggie hospital (the humans call it the “vet”) where I received some treatment for a mild skin issue and parasites. They also sterilized my mom to ensure she has no more litters that meet the same sad fate as my siblings.
My life has been a whirlwind but I’ve kept my happy-go-lucky attitude through it all! I fall in love with every hooman from the moment I meet them and I enjoy spending time hanging out with the other dogs at the rescue, especially the puppies. I know I am officially a teenager but in my heart I will always stay a puppy! In my first home I lived with 30 cats (yes, you read that number right) and I liked them just the same. With the hoomans I am a very trusting, wear-my-heart-on-my-sleeve kind of guy, and I open up right from the start showering you with face licks and showing you my goofy side! I truly have unlimited love to give out!
The dogs I know are my absolute besties! I could romp around with them all day and would really love a play buddy in my future home as well. I will need a slow intro though, because new dogs frighten me a bit at first. The rescue has done an incredible job with guiding me through new introductions and they will give you all the info you need and stand by your side during the time where I adjust to a new doggo! After a week I am good to go and will be in seventh heaven to hang out with my new playmate! I am working a lot on meeting dogs on the streets as well and have made incredible progress. The volunteers are really proud of me, because I learned to focus on them instead of the other dog. I am proud of myself, too
When I was about a year I had an FHO due to a misaligned femur in my hip bone. It was quite a big thing for me, but I forgave the hoomas right away, as they gave me extra love and treatos . I did lots of physiotherapy work and I am progressing every day in building up my muscles, so that I can use my leg nearly normally in the future! I don't understand a lot about all the vet-things, so please reach out to the Surfers for Strays team, if you have any questions! I promise my little limp right now is not holding me back!!
With that being said, I can’t help but think about my next great adventure: traveling to the U.S. or Canada and emBARKing () on a lifelong journey with a family of my own! To my future family reading this - I love you already!
All my love,
Your Griffin
