Grizelda is a 5 year old, 75 pound mastiff mix looking for her forever home! This sweet girl loves belly rubs, making new friends, chasing toys, and zooming happily through the grass. She's also a smart cookie who enjoys puzzle feeders and other activities that challenge her mind. Grizelda has a bright, friendly personality and adores everyone she meets! However, she can be a little head-shy and sensitive to stern voices, so she's looking for a patient, gentle home where she can feel safe and build confidence at her own pace. In return, she'll reward you with love, loyalty, and plenty of joyful moments. Her ideal home will provide both mental and physical enrichment, along with lots of kindness and affection. If you're ready to give Grizelda the comfort and care she deserves, she just might be your perfect match! Grizelda will need to return to us at a later date for a procedure called an FHO (femoral head ostectomy), which will help address her current orthopedic condition and improve her long-term comfort and mobility. In the meantime, we feel it's very beneficial for her to begin settling into a home environment. Building a bond with her adopters ahead of surgery can make a big difference in reducing stress and supporting a smoother recovery process afterward. To help prepare her for surgery and recovery, we recommend starting gentle PROM (passive range of motion) exercises at home on her unaffected ("good") leg. This will help her get used to handling and movement, which will be an important part of her rehabilitation after surgery. Our team is happy to demonstrate these exercises and answer any questions so you feel confident doing them. We will coordinate closely with you regarding timing for her return, surgery, and post-operative care. Grizelda's adoption fee has been sponsored in memory of Miles of Smiles! I don't have a history with dogs and may do well with yours with a proper introduction. I don't have a history with cats and may do well with yours with a slow introduction. I don't have a history with children and may do well with proper management.
