Grover a very active dog who is socially confident and knows what he wants. Since Grover missed out on a typical puppyhood, he is essentially still a puppy in a full-sized dog suit. He could be summed up as whirlwind of energy, brains with a charismatic and charming personality. He is fearless and curious, he loves to be engaged and right next to his people, a true extra-strength Velcro dog. Grover is a true work-in-progress, still learning his manners and working on curbing his arousal and frustration when not getting what he wants. He will need an experienced adopter who can continue to follow a very specific plan for him to succeed. We are looking for an adult only home in a quiet (minimal traffic, ideally rural) area. He likes to play with doggy friends but he should be an only pet in the home. Grover (fka Grove) is a little over a year old, and a compact 45lbs. He is a beautiful pup who arrived in Maine with his littermates in June of 2025. Grover is totally deaf and has limited vision in one of his eyes. Because of this, he can become overstimulated from sensory overload. After arriving in Maine, he also shattered his kneecap, so on top of navigating his hearing and sight impairments, he also had to recover from knee surgery! None of this has slowed him down, at all, but it did force him to spend a lot of his puppyhood missing out on having fun and learning how to control himself. We aren't sure of his breed mix but there is definitely strong herding instincts in there. A fenced yard is a requirement to prevent any unintentional escape attempts. Grover is house and crate, but will need guidance in a new environment. We have materials to help his adopters which include a training plan specific to Grover's needs. Dogs who are hearing impaired do require a special person to meet their needs, but they live happy and healthy lives! Grover's littermates are all smart, social and happy dogs thriving with their forever families. Now it's Grove's turn!
