My story

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

This handsome boy has come a long way. Earlier this year, Gregory was found wandering as an emaciated stray in Connecticut. At first, we believed he was around 12 years old and possibly hospice due to his poor condition — he weighed just 52 pounds, was weak, and covered in sores and urine stains. It was clear he had suffered extreme neglect.

After extensive veterinary care, a nutritious diet, and the freedom to just be a dog, Gregory has made an incredible transformation. He’s now a healthy 83 pounds and estimated to be closer to 7–8 years old. With the help of daily arthritis medication (carprofen), he’s rediscovered his inner puppy!

When Gregory first arrived, he struggled a bit with marking, but that’s improved significantly since his neuter, and his house training continues to get better every day.

Behaviorally, Gregory is a good boy, but he has never had any training and is now learning to be a dog after clear abuse and neglect. In our care, he has cohabited with numerous medium and small dogs, but he can be selective. While he has been completely fine with most, he has fixated on two of the pugs. Due to his size and playstyle, he may do best in a home without small dogs or cats. Proper introductions would be important as sometimes Gregory will say hello by humping. No one likes that.

Gregory does enjoy being a couch potato, but he also loves to walk, play fetch, and do zoomies. He’s a big, strong boy who can be a little stubborn at times, so he’ll need someone comfortable handling his size on leash. He does struggle with frequent ear infections, which will likely be a lifelong, intermittent issue.

If you’ve been looking for a big-headed, big-hearted right-hand companion, Gregory might be the pup for you. He is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines and has had full blood work.
