My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Grady and Greta are 3 year old boxer/jack russell terrier siblings who each weigh approximately 65 lbs. Grady is a male and Greta is a female, quite obviously.

The two came to us after their family (who has had them since puppyhood) fell on financial hard times and could no longer care for the two. Grady and Greta have been together their whole lives and are a bonded pair. They are nervous without one another and their bond is something special that we would like to honor by keeping them together, forever.

Grady and Greta are loving, affectionate, playful dogs who like to wrestle and romp and go for walks. They love frolicking about within a fenced in yard and would love a forever home that has one. The two are absolute angels with cats and all children, including even the tiniest of babies. They love to cuddle with humans, each other, kitties or kids and are extremely tolerant of screaming kiddos.

Grady and Greta are fine with other dogs and have perfect indoor manners. They are house trained and crate trained and well-behaved enough to spend the day at home unsupervised while their people work.

In the case of Grady and Greta, two really is better than one. To add these wonderful siblings to your family, email Cindy@bigfluffydogs.com

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
