About Grady

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Grady, also affectionately known as Grady-baby, Gravy, or Brady, is a spirited eight-year-old Black Mouth Cur bursting with the zest of a much younger dog. Since discovering the joys of beds, couches, toys, and snuggles, he's embraced everything with the biggest heart—he even has a passion for French fries! Grady’s greatest wish is to find his forever home, where he’ll be safe, cherished, and never let down again. Grady’s journey hasn’t been easy. After a difficult start full of hardships, he was finally rescued and given a second chance at life. Sadly, after adoption, Grady was found abandoned and in poor shape just before the holidays, but thanks to kind foster care, he is once again thriving. He loves people, is friendly with cats, dogs, and kids, and is looking for a family ready to show him lasting love and trust. Grady now enjoys a life of comfort and appreciation, but he requires a tall fence and a meet and greet for the right fit, as he can be unsure around some new men. His adoptive family must be as committed as the rescue has been to ensuring his happiness. He is currently located in Tulsa, OK, but can be adopted nationwide. Give Grady the happy ending he deserves, and watch him fill your home with enthusiasm and gratitude. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
