Meet Gripply, a playful pup with a heart as big as his paws!

This sweet boy has tons of puppy energy and a bit of a shy side that will melt your heart once he builds trust. Gripply is full of life, always ready for a play with toys, a romp around the yard, or some playful fun with his brother. He’s looking for a calm, patient home that can help him build confidence and guide him through his puppy antics.

While he’s full of energy and eager to play, Gripply will thrive in an environment where he can also feel safe and secure as he gains trust in his new family. At a young age, Gripply is already growing into a large dog, so he’ll need a home with plenty of space to let his puppy energy run wild. A yard with a secure fence is essential, so he can safely stretch his legs and unleash all his playful energy. He’s a smart, curious boy who loves to learn, so he’d be thrilled to join a family committed to providing him with ongoing training and guidance, from house training to impulse control, to playing brain games that keep his mind sharp.

Gripply enjoys playing with his brother and tossing toys around, but he’ll need a family who can help him manage his growing size and teach him how to play gently. His ideal home will offer a good balance of active playtime and structure, with plenty of positive reinforcement to help him grow into the confident, well-rounded dog he’s destined to be.

I could not resist this cute face and had to bring Gripply home to foster. He is living his best life, getting used to being in a house and having a workday routine. He is doing fantastic with potty training and kennel training so far!
He loves being in the backyard and trying to get his foster sisters to wrestle. He is absolutely fine with the snow and the cold and heads out without protest.

Gripply is such a sweetheart, he loves to meet people, get belly rubs and couch snuggles. So far he is pretty gentle and easy to redirect, and definitely a smarty pants.

I think Gripply will make a good family addition or a partner for adventures. He can’t wait to meet his forever family!
