My personality

My story

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

About Grizzly
Grizzly has spent a few weeks in foster care and is settling in beautifully! He's a calm, gentle giant who loves cuddles, even if he doesn't quite realize just how big he is. Grizzly has met a few dogs and is generally social with smaller ones, but he can be reactive toward larger males. Because of his size and strength, we're currently looking for a home without other pets while he continues building confidence and working on his training.

Training & Support
Grizzly is already showing promise with his manners and is respectful around cats. He's still learning his leash skills, so continued positive, reward-based training will help him become more comfortable and reliable on walks. Gentle guidance, patience, and consistency will go a long way in helping him shine. A home with a yard would be ideal, giving him a safe space to practice his leash skills and stretch his legs.

Ideal Home
Grizzly would do best in a calm home without other pets, where his people can focus on his training and give him plenty of love and attention. His new family should be prepared for a big dog who is equal parts cuddly and strong, and who thrives with gentle guidance. With time, patience, and structure, Grizzly will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion.

More about this shelter

Want to adopt a pet and give them a forever home? We're thrilled! Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.

We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?

We also adopt out small animals including rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
