Story
If you love a dog with a snaggletooth, meet Gr8   Grin. Grin is looking for an adopter that is ready to accept all the love he has to give, and he has a heart full of love to give . Grin is about 7 years old and currently a bit over 16 pounds. He loves people and is super affectionate with his person; he loves to cuddle and would like a home where he is allowed in the family bed. That said, he is not needy and he is crate trained and will sleep quietly all night in his crate. Grin lives with 3 other dogs and is fine with them. He plays well with his foster sister. He would do fine with other dogs, or as an only dog. He is house trained and knows how to use a dog door. Grin walks well on leash and is great on neighborhood walks where other dogs are also on leash. He will bark at dogs that are off-leash and run towards him, his foster is working on this and he can be distracted with treats, but he would not at this time do well in off-leash dog parks. He is fine meeting new dogs in his home. If you are looking for love,  Gr8 Grin may be the guy you are looking for.   Grateful Dogs Rescue incurs substantial veterinary and other expenses in rescuing our dogs. In order to recoup some of these costs, we request a tax-deductible donation for each adoption. The suggested donation for Gr8 Grin is $300. If you are interested in adopting Gr8 Grin, please complete our online adoption application at https://www.gratefuldogsrescue.org/adoption-process/ . One of our volunteers will get back to you. Adoptions are local, confined to the SF Bay Area. See our other available dogs at  https://www.gratefuldogsrescue.org/available-dogs/ May 30, 2025, 7:02 pm
