My story

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

Meet Gruff, an affectionate handsome male. He is a very good boy acquired from a noted breeder from the LA area (I drove across the country to collect him!). Gruff has enjoyed a large home with a generous fenced in yard for his life, however change in family circumstances find him now in my 5th floor apartment. He deserves more freedom and exercise. He needs to run! His personality is typical for the breed and requires an experienced large dog handler. He is a great family dog, a protector, and seeks a job...like parading around a yard.
He loves his sister (a Frenchie) and they are best friends, often cuddling. However if you have another dog already, transition could be a challenge.
With reservation, I offer him to a loving owner. I say with reservation as, other than because of my living circumstances, I would not surrender him. Yet, focusing on his best interests, I know it is best for him.
Please inquire if you can offer him what I cannot.
Thank you/Bill
