About Greg

Greg is a young puppy quickly discovering the world around him. He came from a rescue in Oklahoma where his mother gave birth shortly after arriving in safety. Now being fostered near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he's ready for a loving forever home. This playful pup thrives in a lively environment filled with love, training, and socialization. He enjoys playtime, cuddles, and mealtime, all while learning and growing each day. Early socialization with children and other pets will set him up for success in adulthood, making it essential for his new family to invest time in his development. Greg must be adopted under a neuter contract, with an adoption fee of $500, of which $100 will be reimbursed upon proof of neutering. He is up to date on vaccinations, receives monthly preventative care, and is microchipped. If you think you can provide Greg with the loving home he deserves, please fill out our adoption application. Thank you for considering this sweet pup!
