About Grumpy

Grumpy may have a slightly grumpy-looking ear, but his personality is anything but! This social, playful boy is full of energy and loves being around his people. He's an attention seeker who wants to be part of whatever is happening, always ready for affection, playtime, or a good round of ear and butt scratches. Grumpy adores his toys, especially stuffies and squeaky toys, and his playful side comes alive when there's something fun to chase or carry. He can get a bit jumpy and mouthy when excited, so he'll need a family willing to work on his manners and help him learn appropriate ways to express his enthusiasm. He gets along well with other dogs and children of all ages. Grumpy is crate trained and will thrive in a household that provides structure, routine, daily exercise, and positive outlets for his energy. He does have a tendency to resource guard his food, so his family will need to give him space during meals and continue to address that behavior. Grumpy’s unique ear adds to his charm and personality. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion who truly stands out, Grumpy is ready to find the perfect family to call his own.
