I have to find a new home for Griffin.
A lot of thought, discussions, tears, and the conclusion is that I need to do what is best for my dog. Don't get me wrong I love him dearly though he is not getting the right amount of attention he needs and I cannot afford another dog to keep him company. I would love for him to go to a household that has at least one playful dog to help maintain his energy and someone that is consistent with training.
Here are some basic info: He is just over a year old, a lab/boxer mix on the medium-large side, mostly black with a white belly and white feet, super soft coat on the short side, current on all vaccinations, neutered, and will come with a lot of toys. He is not free, I will ask for a small payment, but I will be screening families to find the best fit for him. I will be candid about all of his personality quirks, what training we have done, his pluses and minuses. He is a love bug, but can be a jerk at times. Is good with children (loves to knock them over if there is food in their hand), good with other dogs, but absolutely cannot be in a house with cats/birds/etc. He has a high prey drive and thinks they are things to chase. Maybe with time he can be better around cats, but who knows.
I would prefer to give him a new home and not take him back to the shelter since I think he would regress and make future adoption difficult. If you know anyone that would like a great dog that needs a bit of work (he is crazy smart, but very stubborn), you can contact me, meet him, and decide for yourself if he will make your life a bit more fun. Please share this to anyone that is looking to add to their pack.
