About Grumpy

Grumpy may sport a slightly grumpy-looking ear, but his personality is the opposite! This social and playful boy brims with energy and loves being around his people. An attention seeker at heart, he thrives on affection, playtime, and the occasional ear and butt scratch. Grumpy enjoys his toys—especially stuffies and squeaky ones—and his playful spirit shines when there's something fun to chase or carry. He can become jumpy and mouthy with excitement, so his new family should be ready to help him refine his manners and learn appropriate ways to express his enthusiasm. He gets along well with other dogs and is good with children of all ages. Grumpy is crate trained and would flourish in a home that offers structure, routine, daily exercise, and plenty of positive activities to channel his energy. However, he does have a tendency to guard his food, so it’s essential for his family to provide him some space during meals and continue to work on positive mealtime behaviors. That unique ear of his gives him an endearing look and adds character to this already memorable pup. If you’re in search of a fun-loving, social companion, Grumpy is ready to find a family that will cherish every quirk that makes him special. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
