🐾 Meet Grady, a delightful little soul who is just bursting with personality! At only one year old and around 15 pounds, he’s a Chihuahua–Rat Terrier mix with a backstory that warms the heart! Grady almost missed out on life in a shelter because he was mistakenly labeled as “aggressive.” The truth? He was simply afraid. Can you believe that? 😢💔 After a heartwarming plea by volunteers, he was rescued just in the nick of time! Once Grady found himself in a loving foster home, it was like a switch flipped! The timid pup transformed into a joyful little companion who is anything but aggressive! 🥳 He’s housebroken, ridiculously smart (he learned his new name and the command "sit" in less than three days!), and a total cuddle bug. Imagine this little guy snuggled up next to you, sharing all his love and warmth. ☕️❤️ Though Grady is still learning to trust his surroundings and can feel a bit anxious around new faces initially, with a sprinkle of patience and kindness, he blossoms into an adoring companion. Once he feels safe, he’s all about loyalty and love! He shows no food aggression and is gentle when taking treats—can you see him charm his way into your heart? ✨ Grady thrives in an active household and would love a home with another playful, medium-sized dog. He’s submissively energetic and already learning to play gently! This little adventurer is also a fan of boating—who doesn’t love a little fun on the water? 🚤😄 He walks beautifully on a leash and is well on his way to mastering the art of ignoring distractions like those pesky bikes and strollers! He enjoys his crate when you go out, and guess what? He won't chew on your furniture; instead, he's all about the toys! Playful and energetic, Grady is truly the best snuggler you could ask for. 🥰 He will shower you with kisses and love, making every day brighter. This boy is ready for his forever family where he can continue to grow and thrive! Grady's adoption fee is $200, and he is fully vetted and neutered. This lovable pup has found his second chance, and now he wants to share his heart with you! Don’t wait—apply to adopt Grady through the Buddy App today, and let the adventure begin! 🌟
