My story

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

***Please read Griffin's complete bio, as we have been getting a lot of applications which do not meet his requirements in any way:

Meet Griffin. He's a frisky and fun three year old Chinese Crested who came to us as an owner surrender. He's loving life in his foster home as he waits to find a family of his own. Griffin is very puppy-like in terms of his temperament! He's playful and energetic and loves his toys. Griffin is great with other dogs. He needs to have another small playful dog like himself in his foster home, as he loves to wrestle and play all day long. He loves to eat, and even with a slow feeder dish he's the first one finished and then tries to help himself to others' food!
It takes him a while to warm up to a new face as he is very shy, but once he does, he becomes a Velcro dog who stays close to his person and would not be happy in a "no dogs on the furniture" type of household. Griffin is a lapdog and loves to cuddle. He also takes his job as watchdog very seriously and he loves to exercise his freedom of speech whenever someone comes to the door or walks by the house, so he's not a candidate for apartment living. He's also super fast and can never be allowed off leash. A securely fenced yard is required to keep him safe, and would make him happy, as he loves to run zoomies like the wind! He's a smart boy who learns quickly, and is doing fantastic with leash training and house training. He has no health issues that we know of and he certainly has plenty of energy.
Griffin would be happiest in an adult only home with people that are around a lot of the time and who could continue his training, show him patience and kindness until he settles in, and appreciate this silly, quirky, boy and how special he is. He recently moved to a different foster home when his other foster parents went on an extended vacation and settled in quickly. He has a blast with the other Crested in the home, playing and cuddling all day long. They also love running in the fenced yard, so both another dog and fenced yard are required in his forever home.
If you think this fun little guy might be perfect for you and vice versa, please submit an application.
