My story

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

🧡 URGENT: TEMP FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED BY 11/23 🧡

Meet Sir Griffin – the golden-hearted survivor who just wants to love and be loved!

My name is Griffin; I’m a 45 lb. Golden Retriever mix, saved from euthanasia while in an overcrowded southern shelter after I was found as a stray. Boy was I in a rough condition. For the past eight weeks, I have been living in a foster home in South Jersey with my foster dad who loves me very much, treats me well and believes I am between 2 and 4 years old. I was recently groomed and the groomer said I was such a good boy.

Here are some things my foster dad says about me. “Griffin is a great dog who really loves to please and be near his person. He loves attention, affection and cuddles, doing zoomies around the house or yard, going on walks, or playing with his toys. He loves to play fetch and tug-o-war. Griffin loves people and gets excited when someone comes to the house as he looks for the attention. He will bark and wag his tail when he sees someone outside, but that is a plus. He will make a wonderful companion.

Grifin is also food motivated which makes training a breeze; he has already learned the following commands - no, sit, paw, wait, stay [he even learned the hand signal for stay (palm up facing out)], lay down, and take it nice (re: treats). He even knows to get on his dog bed at night when I tell him. Griffin is house-trained and alerts me when he needs to go potty. He also does great being home alone and lies by the door waiting for me to come home. (I have interior cameras).

Griffin would do best with a family or individual with a large fenced yard for him to run and play fetch, and one where his adoptive pet parent(s) will be patient with him and continue to reinforce desired behaviors. He may benefit by having one (or possibly more) dogs in the home for him to play with and expend his energy. Older kids are recommended because we believe he is mixed with a “herding” breed and they can be nippy, but he only showed this attribute during the first week of his fostering. He no longer does this when someone comes in the house”.

If you are interested in this sweet boy, or would like to see videos of Griffin, please call/text Karen at 413-629-8152!

Thank you for caring about a pet in need! <3
