We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs to their new home leaving by January 15th 2026 to the east coast from where we are located here in Southern California. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Griff to our trip for the right home! As always for our adopters peace of mind we never ask for anything up front! His adoption fee, along with his adopting families share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person with Griff ultimately finalizing his adoption.
Meet Griffin, affectionately known as “Griff” — and yes, he truly loves his nickname. Born on Valentine’s Day (2/14/24), Griff is a little love through and through, the kind of dog who makes friends everywhere he goes and leaves a lasting impression on every heart he meets.
Griff is a Poodle/Maltese mix, weighing 12.4 lbs fully grown, and he is right where he should be - healthy, balanced, and beautifully proportioned. His temperament matches his looks perfectly: outgoing, affectionate, joyful, and incredibly easy to love. He greets every person he meets with a wagging tail and happy kisses, genuinely thrilled to make a new friend. He carries a confident but gentle energy that makes him feel immediately familiar, like he’s always belonged.
He is wonderful with other dogs and truly enjoys playful companionship. Griff loves to romp around and would thrive in a home with a sweet, playful canine friend. That said, if he were to become someone’s one and only, he would shine just as brightly. He bonds deeply with his humans and is more than happy to fill his days hanging out, relaxing, and simply being part of whatever life brings. He has that special quality of being adaptable, content playing when it’s time to play, and perfectly happy settling in when it’s time to relax.
Griff is not high energy, but don’t mistake that for laziness, he loves walks and can absolutely keep up. Walks are one of his favorite things, and he approaches them with enthusiasm and joy. Around the house, his manners are excellent. He listens well, responds beautifully, and is very food motivated, which has made his training progress a pleasure to watch.
He is crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night without issue, and he is house trained, typically going outside every 3–4 hours. Griff also loves car rides of any length and makes a wonderful road trip companion. He is not a barker, but he will politely alert you to unfamiliar noises, making him attentive without being excessive.
Overall, Griff is the kind of dog who fits seamlessly into a home — affectionate, well-mannered, intuitive, and deeply loving. He is the perfect blend of playful companion and calm best friend, and he is truly ready to give his whole heart to the family who chooses him.
His Adoption Fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/griff
It Griffin’s neuter, vaccines, microchip/registration, and exam with our veterinarian. An additional cost has been added to cover his grooming immediately prior to his neuter, as well as the long-acting antibiotic injection administered to aid in his neuter recovery. This injectable antibiotic is more costly than oral medication but is recommended, as it remains consistently in his system for the full two weeks during healing.
As always, Griffin’s adoption fee also reflects the months of care, continued grooming, and training he has received while with us.
Griff is ready, ready to love, ready to belong, and ready to become someone’s best friend for life. 💛
