Meet Grey! This handsome 1-year-old Blue Lacy/Pittie mix is a total heart-melter with his soft silver coat and soulful brown eyes. Grey is a sweet, snuggly boy who adores his people and just wants to feel safe and loved. Grey hasn’t had an easy start, so he can be shy and easily startled—especially around strangers and men. He needs slow introductions and a patient family who understands that trust takes time. Once he feels comfortable, though? He becomes the wiggliest, happiest cuddle bug you’ve ever met. His tail never stops, and he’ll lean right into you for pets and affection. This boy is athletic, fun, and always up for an adventure! Grey loves hiking, fetch, tug-of-war, and anything that lets him run and stretch those legs. A fenced yard would be ideal. And when he’s done being an athlete, he’s just as happy curling up in your lap for a nap or nudging you for more love. Grey is also super smart! He’s mastered sit, down, place, out/drop it, heel, and waiting politely at doors. He walks nicely on leash and is working hard on feeling more confident around crowds and strangers—treats and gentle guidance make all the difference. He's crate trained, food motivated, and enjoys learning. Grey can be selective with other dogs and may get growly, so a dog-free home or a calm, compatible dog is best. He's actually been pretty good with most and has 2 new besties. We've been dog-sitting a family dog for the week, and Grey is thriving. He is, "Good with some dogs"! No young kids, please, as sudden movements can scare him. Cats are unknown. To help him continue to grow, Grey comes with lifetime training and support from the American Canine Academy! His perfect family will be calm, patient, kind, and experienced—someone who can help him feel safe while letting him blossom into the goofy, loving boy he truly is. If you’re ready to help a deserving pup heal and thrive, Grey is ready to love you with his whole heart. Find out more or apply to adopt this love bug at EAPL.com. His adoption fee is $375.
