My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hello, My name is Connor! I am 5-years old and I weigh 90lbs, but I am not overweight, I am just a BIG BOY! I am looking for just the right person or family to adopt Let me tell you about myself and maybe YOU are the right person or family!

I am currently boarding at a very nice facility with super nice people taking care of me! They all love me here and I love them, but I really need my own family and home now. While I have been here for over a month, one of my favorite people here is my trainer. She has been working with me on some of my, well, not so good habits. She is such a good trainer that I have overcome those bad habits. You see, I like paper towels and tissue, so I would counter surf and get those things. When I did, I had an attitude with whomever would try and take them from me. So, because of my paper addiction, I can’t be allowed to get those fun paper things anymore. They tell me it is called resource guarding. My GOOD habits outweigh the bad ones though. I am basically a good dog who loves everyone and loves to cuddle and lean on you Because I am a big boy, I might accidentally knock you over if I lean on you!

The awesome people at GRRSWF said that whomever I adopt, will need to keep up with my training while we all get used to each other. If you live close to where I am boarding, the trainer I work with now is happy to help (she knows me the best ) I like to walk, but I really like a fenced yard I can play in. I have lived with other dogs and cats in my previous homes. I like children too, but I can be a bit too much for them because of my size, so I will need an adult only home.

For more information about me, contact GRRSWF at info@grrswf.org or applications@grrswf.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters are asked to complete and application form, GRRSWF will perform a vet check followed by a telephone interview with the adopter, we will then set up a home visit in order to make the best possible match between the dog and it's new home. We do not charge any application fees. Adoption donations are on a sliding scale according to the dog's age and medical needs.

Go meet their pets

All of our dogs are placed in loving foster homes who evaluate them while treating them as one of their own family, so we do not have a formal boarding facility. Once you have identified a dog of interest and have submitted an application, then you will be able to schedule a visit to the foster home and the first meeting with your new family member.
