About Grayson

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Grayson is a big, white hunk of love! This affectionate boxer is the biggest love bug and one of the cuddliest boys you'll ever meet. Known for his enthusiastic kisses, Grayson is a true "licking machine" and will shower you with affection at every opportunity. Despite his size—he weighs about 63 pounds—he adores curling up with you and pretending he's a lap dog. He's always up for an adventure, whether that's playing ball, joining you for hikes or jogs, or romping around in the backyard. Indoors, Grayson easily transitions into a laid-back companion, enjoying quiet time in his bed or snuggling up close by your side. He's the best of both worlds: active and playful outdoors, but mellow and calm when it's time to relax inside. Car rides are a highlight for him, and he's always eager for an outing or new experience—making him a fantastic adventure buddy! Grayson does feel a bit anxious when left alone and would be happiest with someone who can spend plenty of time with him throughout the day and include him in fun activities. He’s very food motivated, so any unattended food in reach is sure to disappear quickly! Grayson is wonderful with people (including kids), though dog-savvy children are ideal since he can get a little jumpy when excited. He enjoys the company of small dogs and is an energetic playmate with the resident small female dog in his foster home. Grayson can be selective with larger male dogs, especially on leash, but generally does best with smaller or submissive dogs—or as the only dog in the home. Grayson is ready to find his forever family who will appreciate his loving, goofy nature. Being born under the sign of Sagittarius, he’s especially adventurous and loves new experiences. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
