Griffin has put in his time waiting at the shelter. He’s an 8-year-old terrier mix whose body is a little worn from years and hard concrete, but his spirit is unbreakable. Arthritis slows Griffin down these days—don’t expect him to chase tennis balls or power up hiking trails—but he is unmatched in soft warmth and devotion. Mostly, Griffin wants to be close to his people, take in the world from a comfy bed, and soak up any affection that comes his way. He’s polite with most dogs and would appreciate a calm canine companion or the full attention as your solo friend. Griffin doesn’t do well with cats but is loving with children and easygoing in the right home. His needs are simple: patience, kindness, and a home where he can finally feel secure. If your heart has room for a senior who’s all gratitude and gentle hope, Griffin will repay you in quiet devotion. By the way, born in late December, Griffin is a Capricorn: sturdy, loving, and steady. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
