Story
What is your name?
Hi! My name is Grover!
How old are you?
I'm about 3-years-old (?)
What do you look like?
My foster mom tells me I have big, expressive eyes and the cutest floppy ears. I have silky smooth sandy brown fur and healthy skin!
What do you like to eat?
I used to have a sensitive stomach, but my foster mom has figured out what works for me! I just can't have chicken, and my belly does just fine! Right now, my kibble is Dr. Gary's Best Breed Coldwater Recipe, and I get lots of other non-chicken treats! I require lots of calories because I am an energetic boy, so I like high calorie food
What kind of personality do you have? It takes me a minute to warm up to new people, but once I know you, I love you! My foster mom has helped me learn that new people normally throw my ball & I loveeeeeee my ball. So, I'd you throw it I love you too! I have a lot of energy and need to play and train daily to be my best self inside the house.
Describe your typical day:
I am very much a boy of routine. I am a healthy mix of energy and lazy. On a perfect day I wake up, eat breakfast and hangout in my placeboard while my foster mom drinks some weird brown water. Then, I go outside with my foster brothers to run around with our Jolly Balls. I don't really care about playing with them, it's all about playing with my favorite toy! After nice nap in my kennel while foster mom works, we go on a nice, structured walk to practice my obedience. I LOVE to work for treats. Sometimes we even get to go to Home Depot or Lowes!
What is your favorite toy?
I LOVE TOYS. I love them all and possibly a little too much, ha! In the house I can only have my bones and Kong’s, but outside under supervision, I get to play with the fun stuff like BarkBox Super Chewer Balls. They are my FAVORITE! I also really love my Jolly Ball.
Do you know any tricks?
I can do lots of things like sit, down, Heel, and go to my place! I also know how to spit out my toy so you can have it! I try hard to be a good boy.
Do you like cats?
I knew this question would come up. Here is the thing. I was born with this superpower called prey drive. My mom says its genetic and you can’t change genetics, so we might as well embrace it. Prey drive can make training and playing with me very fun because I love to chase balls, treats, etc. However, my prey drive can get me in trouble too because squirrels, birds, bunnies, cats, etc are all things that I would also very much like to chase and catch. And with a boy of my size and determination, this is one superpower my family will always need to be aware of and manage responsibly.
Do you have any doggie best friends?
I prefer to play with toys and hangout with my human over dog friends! When I do play with my brothers, I play VERY rough. Unfortunately, not very many dogs like the way I play, so it’s good thing I don’t really need to play with them to be happy!
If you could be anywhere in the world, where would it be?
This is easy to answer, I just want to be with my person wherever are going!
How is your health?
My tummy is sensitive to chicken, but when I don’t eat that I am a healthy boy!
Who do you live with in your foster home and who is your closest companion?
I live with a foster mom & dad and have 3 foster dog siblings. I love my foster mom.
Where do you hang out when you are home alone?
I hang out in my crate when I’m home alone.
Where do you sleep?
I usually spend the night my crate, but sometimes my foster mom will sleep on the couch and let me sleep on my placeboard.
What was life like before you were rescued by Even Chance and brought into the welcoming arms of your foster parents?
Even Chance took me into their rescue from Animal Control. Animal Control rescued me and my littermates and parents from a hot garage that my first family locked us inside.
Even Chance does not operate on a first come, first serve basis. In most cases we have already decided the type of home and owner we want for our dogs. These opinions are based on the temperament tests we perform prior to accepting the dog into our program and the behaviors the dogs display as they spend time in our homes. Our agency reserves the right to deny acceptance of any dog to an owner who we feel the lifestyle does not match that of the dog. We are in no way judging you or your lifestyle; we simply want to put our dogs in the best living situation possible. We take very seriously the decision we make when it comes to placing one of our dogs in a forever home. If I sound like the perfect pit bull for you and your family and you are interested in giving me a forever home, do not hesitate! Please fill out an application at www.evenchance.org/adopt and my foster family will contact you to schedule an in-person meet and greet. We look forward to meeting any and all interested applicants.
