Story

Meet Grayson, Although he is very timid, at first, he can be very affectionate. Grayson’s Life did not start out so great. He was dumped on the side of the road with his mother and three sisters. He was found by a good Samaritan, who took him in and fed him and contacted us. We have been working tirelessly to get him and his sisters to A point where they understand that we are here to help and not to hurt. We do not know what their background was before they were found only that they were afraid. Grayson has jumped, leaps and bounds. He now walks very well on a leash. Grayson does not have an aggressive bone in his body. He has never acted out in any form of aggression only fear. He loves my five year old daughter, And even more than that, he loves other dogs. He is crate trained. And is now looking for his forever home. Grayson will need a home with someone who is willing to be patient with him, I truly believe that he will come around. He has already come around with me so much when he first came to me he would cower in the corner and scream when I tried to touch him and now I can pet him when I move slowly. This boy deserves the best family, He does reside in Georgia, but would be more than happy to make the trip up north to find his forever home.
