Meet Grant (ACCT-A-248092)! This sweet and inquisitive boy is looking for a forever home where he can share his gentle nature and love for life. Grant is known for his incredibly soft eyes and a happy, mid-to-low tail wag that tells you he's ready to be your best friend. Grant is a laid-back, chill companion who loves to explore. On a recent day trip, he was a total gentleman, curiously sniffing around the park and acting very well-behaved when encountering other people and dogs. He is exceptionally food-motivated and takes treats with a very gentle mouth, which makes him a joy to train and interact with. While Grant can be a bit independent at first, his playful side shines once he's comfortable. He has been seen showing off adorable play bows and zooming around the yard with excitement. Because he can be a little sensitive to new environments, he is best suited for a home with children aged 12 and older, and he would love to meet the whole family to ensure a perfect fit. If you're looking for a curious, gentle, and easygoing friend to join your family, Grant is waiting to meet you!
