About Grayson

Grayson is a 73 lb. white Boxer who lives for affection. He’s a total cuddle bug and treats every chance for a kiss like an emergency, using his size to his advantage by squeezing up for some serious lap time. Out in the yard, he’ll chase the ball, go for long walks or jogs, and bring all the energy you want on a hike or adventure. Inside, Grayson switches gears—he chills out, sprawls on his bed, or snuggles with you, perfectly mellow and happy. He’s also the kind of dog who makes you laugh every day: loves car rides, brings enthusiasm to any outing, and uses snack-motivation to sniff out every treat in sight. He should not be left alone with accessible food (he will find your secret stash). Grayson needs a home where someone is around most of the day; he can get anxious when left solo and truly thrives with company. Grayson gets along with people of all ages and adores kids, though dog-experienced children are a better fit since he gets jumpy when excited. With other dogs, Grayson is complex: excellent and playful with small dogs, especially females, and able to get along with some others if they’re submissive—but can be reactive toward larger males, especially on leash. He’d love a dog-savvy home willing to introduce him slowly to new friends or enjoy him as a solo companion. Grayson isn’t a match for cats. He’s waiting for someone ready for a loyal, goofy, active buddy who knows life is best together. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
