Meet Gryphon! This extra-large, mixed-breed shepherd is proof that big doesn’t mean tough: his heart and his fur are both unusually soft. Gryphon is happiest lounging next to someone, rolling onto his back for endless belly rubs, or soaking up every bit of attention he can get. His thick, plush coat practically begs to be petted, and he’s perfectly content to nap at your feet or stake out a sunny patch for a good snooze. Gryphon gets along famously with female dogs and generally prefers their company. He might do fine with a laid-back male dog, but he clearly shines brightest around the ladies. Gryphon is equally playful and affectionate—fetch, tug, or just parading his favorite toy, he’s all in. He has a knack for both making you laugh and then melting right into your arms for snuggles. He’s looking for a home where his gentle, affectionate, and playful spirit will be truly valued. If you want an oversized goofball and certified cuddle buddy, Gryphon is ready to show you his softer side. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
