About Greg

Greg keeps his circle tight but loyal—if he chooses you, you’re all in. He’s house trained, crate trained, and thrives on routine. Greg prefers a quieter home and lives for his person: couch nap buddy, expert snuggler, and king of the cozy blanket pile. While he needs some time to warm up to new faces and places, he makes up for it with unmatched enthusiasm and trust once you’re his. Greg likes things simple—slow introductions to other people and dogs (the rescue will walk you through that), low-traffic environments, and ideally a yard. He prefers a home with adults or older teens and is best as the only pet, at least to start. Homes with cats, small animals, or young children aren’t the right fit. If you want a movie marathon companion and a friend who’ll meet you with a full-body wiggle after a quiet walk, Greg is waiting. He’s not just any dog. He’s a real-deal best friend who picks you as much as you pick him. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
