Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If you’re a couch potato, Granger is your kindred soul and would love to flop on you for forever! Granger’s favorite activity is sleeping with his humans, and his second favorite is napping in the sun. He’s a chill little dude who craves cuddles more than exercise and is happy to follow you around the house and lay at your feet when he can’t lay in your lap. But if you’re more active, his natural athleticism will keep up on your adventures. Granger doesn’t pull on the leash; knows how to “sit”, “lay down”, and “come”; and waits for permission before eating and exiting the house. He’ll wait patiently for mealtime then have a vigorous wriggle session before relaxing on a pillow.
Granger is house-trained; crate-trained; gentle with toys; rarely barks; isn’t startled by knocking on the front door, fireworks, or other loud sudden noises; and wouldn’t dream of begging at the table or splashing in the mud. And very trainable with a little food motivation which he’ll take from you gently. All out of treats? No worries, he’ll just find the one he hid in the couch a few weeks ago! Want a fashion show? This handsome boy knows he looks good in a sweater! Granger can live with a well-matched dog but would love to be the only pet getting your attention. Come meet this little charmer today!
