About Grizzly

Meet Grizzly! If happiness had four paws and a wagging tail, it would be Grizzly. At just under 6 months old, he embodies everything you'd hope for in a puppy—playful, affectionate, and endlessly curious. Every day is a new adventure for him, whether he's chasing toys, wrestling with his puppy friends, or soaking up sunbeams after a fun-filled day. Grizzly's goofy personality will surely make you smile. He's loving and always eager to meet new friends. He enjoys being involved in everything, from exploring new trails to playing in the yard or curling up for a nap after a busy day. This charming boy had a tough start, found alone and abandoned at just 2 months old. Thankfully, a compassionate stranger brought him to the rescue where he received the care and love he desperately needed. Now, Grizzly is healthy, thriving, and ready to start his next chapter with a loving family. He thrives in an active environment, enjoying walks and playtime. He gets along with other dogs, but would also be happy as your one-and-only. Respectful children would make wonderful companions for him, and having someone home part of the day would help him continue to learn his puppy manners. Grizzly is fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and on preventive care. He’s crate trained and enjoys both canine and feline company. Grizzly has the chance to travel to New York on our September transport if he has a committed adopter or foster-to-adopt family waiting for him. All he needs now is a loving family to give him the chance he deserves. Could that be you? Start your journey together! Apply now.
