About Grouper

Meet Grouper, a joyful two-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer currently in Parrish, FL! Along with his sister Mahi, he’s a bundle of energy and loves being outdoors. These dogs thrive on physical activity and mental challenges, so a home with a fenced yard is a must. While Grouper is friendly and affectionate, he may unintentionally knock over small children given his speed. Grouper will be neutered soon, is microchipped, and has up-to-date vaccinations. He hasn't had much experience on a leash, so an adopter who can help him with his leash manners would be ideal. He will bring lots of happiness and activity to any home, whether adopted alone or with Mahi. If you’re ready to give Grouper a loving forever home, don’t hesitate to reach out and apply!
