About Gryffin

Gryffin is a shy, cheerful little guy who lives for snuggles, snack breaks, and romping around with canine friends. He needs a little space to come out of his shell, but when he trusts you, Gryffin becomes a devoted cuddle partner. He’s happiest in a secure home with another small dog for company—ideally, his beloved sister Gracie, as they are tightly bonded and looking for a home together. Gryffin grew up with other pups, loves sunny pillow spots, and can run and play in a yard for hours. He's looking for a family with a securely fenced yard and doesn’t do well in apartments or mobile homes. Only adults or children over ten, since younger kids overwhelm him. He gets along well with other dogs and older children. Gryffin and Gracie only do private meet-and-greets, keeping things exclusive while they search for their perfect match. These two promise twice the love and a lot of fun—ready for someone who can keep them together for life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
