He’ll need guidance as he matures but is already turning heads with his playful personality.

About Griddle

Meet Griddle! He landed at the shelter as a stray at about 10 months old, and his blue eyes and lanky frame definitely turn heads. Griddle’s still in that awkward adolescent phase, finding his stride as he grows into his tall legs. He’s never been walked on a leash before, so every outing right now is a bit of a wobbly adventure, but he’s showing improvement fast. What he lacks in finesse, he makes up for with sweetness and a big goofy grin. He’s a pup at heart—curious, friendly, and game for whatever comes next. Griddle will need someone patient and ready to teach him the ropes as he matures into a wonderful companion. He’s looking for an adopter who’s ready to show him how good life can be.
