My story

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

Gruff (5 y/o) is an affectionate handsome male. He is a very good boy acquired from a noted breeder from LA (I drove across the country to collect him!). Gruff has enjoyed a large a generous fenced in yard, however change in family circumstances find him now in a 5th floor apartment. He needs freedom and exercise, and 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 won't work (already tried). With reservation, I offer him to a loving owner. Other than because of changed living circumstances, I would not surrender him, yet I know it is best for him. Please inquire if you can offer him (1) a large fenced yard, (2) are experienced with large strong dogs, and (3) you do not have an existing pet. Thank you.
