About Greg

Greg was found alone on a hiking trail and has settled into foster care with real ease. He’s a mellow, low-energy dog who prefers calm indoor days to wild adventures. Greg loves lounging in cozy spots, enjoys short walks, and is steadily picking up leash skills—he isn’t likely to beg for big hikes. He’s gentle with everyone and fine with other dogs, always tolerant and non-reactive. Greg’s house trained, doesn’t tear things up, and reliably sleeps through the night. He likes car rides, takes treats with a soft mouth, and already knows "sit." Greg forms strong bonds with his people and prefers inside living; he’s not comfortable being left outside alone. He mostly seeks quiet company and would do best in a peaceful home, likely with older children until a vet checks his sensitivity in his left hind area. Someone kind and consistent would be a perfect match for him. Greg is ready for a gentle home that can give him steady care and affection. Click apply to start the adoption process.
