Story
Griffin is around 3.5 years old he is a pitbull mix I believe. 3 yrs ago he was recused from a Facebook post , he was roughly around 6 months old and he has been an emotional support dog ( unregistered) . I have numerous chronic health issues and was bed bound the majority of time. Griffin is kennel trained and housebroken , he only chews his own toys or stuffed toys ( but he does like kids toys and could be tempted). Griffin is a strong walker and pulls at times. He is very friendly , loving, loyal, silly boy temperament. He does not realize his strength and has become more than I can handle physically. Many factors are at play ( financial strain ( im disabled) as well as the physical needs for Griffin. He needs lots of care & love. He is used to being with me 24/7 hanging in bed. He would thrive with exercise and plenty of space to run. He loves kids and other dogs and cats if they receive him well. Griffin is truly amazing and would be a great addition to a family.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please read the bio of the rescue you are interested in to insure you are a match if you are a match the first step is to complete the online adoption application  Unique came to us after her family realized they couldn't care for her any longer.  She was born with some birth defects affecting her 2 front legs.  We consulted with multiple veterinarians who all agreed there was really nothing that could be done for her.  She runs, plays, and does all things any other dog would do.  This could affect her down the road with early arthritis.  Unique is a sweet girl who loves to romp in the yard playing with her toys.  She has gotten along with other dogs her at the rescue but we would prefer if there is another dog in the home it be a male.  We would also like to see her have a safe physical fenced in yard where she can play safely.  She is now spayed, up to date on rabies and distemper vaccines,  microchipped and current on preventatives.   She does ok on leash but could use more practice with it. She will need work on her house training in her new home.

Story
Dog Name: Malin Breed: Pittie mix Sex: female Age: ~ 3 yo Weight: 40 lbs Medical Needs: Malin has mild hip dysplasia on one side and bilateral luxating patellas. She takes a Dasuquin supplement daily which has made her joint issues almost imperceptible. This costs $13/mo  Housebroken: yesCrate trained: yesGood in the car: LOVES to go for rides. Good on a leash: Meh. Not so much. She acts like she has ADHD when the leash comes out. I think she’s hoping the next stop is the car! Energy level: mediumNeed a fenced in yard: not required  Dog Friendly: Yes and no. She is able to be out and about in public around other dogs and be fine. In the home, she can coexist with the right match of a dog…lower energy and not in your face. She has been known to resource guard items and food. For this reason,  a dog free home is recommended.  Cat Friendly? No. Perhaps it was a W. Virginia mountain lion that attacked her, leading to her amputation. Now she seeks revenge on all felines. ‍‍‍ It’s the story we are going with! Kid Friendly: I recommend teens. She could interpret screaming and yelling from youngsters as someone being threatened and would want to intervene. She seems sensitive to that.  If you followed GRR for a while then you know Malin has been with the rescue for about 17 months now. She came with some pretty severe injuries to her face and front legs which necessitated the amputation of her front right leg. During these 17 months, she’s had exactly 2 meet and greets!! Only TWO One of which is when we learned of her desire to nomnom a kitty ‍. Sure, she’s not perfect and needs a specific kind of home but she is so deserving of that. She is such a loving and devoted companion. I guarantee that if someone broke into my house all my dogs would probably hide but Malin…she would protect me at all costs. She absolutely loves going anywhere in the car…perhaps you know an over the road trucker in need of companionship? She is also happy to just chill at home on the couch if that’s where you are. She’s really not asking for too much. I know there has to be someone out there who sees the beauty in her like I do!!  Fosters Location:Hurlock, MD Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app —  ##1363897##

Story
Dog Name: Etta JamesBreed: American Pit Bull Terrier mixSex: FAge: 6 yearsWeight: 55 lbs Medical needs: None Housebroken: Yes Crate trained: Yes. She also sleeps in her crate over night in her fosters bedroom.  Good in the car: Yes. Etta loves to get out of the house and go for a car ride.  Good on a leash: Etta does well with a prong collar.    Energy level: Medium. Etta loves to play and run around. So she will need a daily outlet. While she does play hard she will also lounge around and sleep with you in bed or the couch. Need a fenced in yard: No, but of course she will need to be leashed and exercised regularly to burn off energy.  Dog Friendly: Yes. Etta lives with a resident dog and they get along well. She will do best with dogs her size or bigger because she does play rough. Etta is a bit cautious at first so she requires a slow introduction.  If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home:  No Cat friendly: Unknown  Kid Friendly: Yes If yes, what's the youngest age: 10 and up. Traits that make your foster special: Etta is a beautiful brindle American Pit Bull Terrier mix.  She is food motivated and loves to be with her people! She also likes to lay in the sun, belly rubs, playing in water, and playing tug or fetch! She  is also a bit spoiled and loves a monthly bark box for super chewers. Etta will be a perfect addition to any home willing to give her time to warm up.   Foster’s Location: Newark, DE Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app) ##1698223##
