Meet Grover! This 5-year old brindle Muppet came to us after his owner could no longer care for him and we can’t wait for him to find his true forever. Grover is funny, huggable, eager, and the most adorable brindle mix, who, at 40 lean pounds, is the perfect size. Grover is dog friendly, delightfully playful, and loves squeaky toys the best. And with his soft pendant ears flopping around and his deep and soulful brown eyes, Grover is one handsome man! This tiny gentleman adores treats and takes them with the softest lips. When snacking, he has the occasional snaggletooth and will do almost anything for a morsel.
Let’s be honest – middle age is magical and Grover is no exception! He is house-trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. He is efficient on bathroom breaks, tap dances for his dinner, and will tap you on the shoulder if you’re working from home to remind you he is there. Once he learns to trust, he is the biggest lovebug and thrives with routine (and treats). Grover is less of an adventure brewery type dog and more of an inside cat, if you know what we mean.
What do we love most about G-man? His innocence and resilient spirit. We’ll say it…humans have failed Grover repeatedly. We can assume past trauma due to his fearfulness of new situations. And in our throw-away society, recent owners who gave him away like last year’s sweater that no longer fits. Grover deserves more. He deserves to be a valued and cherished family member where he can get showered with the love and safety we all seek. Grover represents the tenacity within us all – the drive we all have to never give up and never surrender, no matter how difficult, trying, or exhausting something might be. In fact, we could all learn from Grover…it is important to keep going, no matter the odds, even if you’ve taken a few wrong turns along the way.
Grover is a wonderful, waggy, loveable, cute, and furry pup with a huge heart. We think his ideal home is with someone looking to love hard and be loved harder in return. Someone who is patient and will give Grover the time that he needs to acclimate to a new place, enveloping him in a cocoon of tenderness to make him feel safe and loved for all of his days. Due to his lack of history, older kids would be best for this friendly and fun-loving fuzzyface.
Grover’s top 3 priorities:
1. A patient family who will go at Grover’s pace to introduce him to new situations and commit to keeping his world small at first.
2. A committed family who will give this deserving little guy all the love he craves for the rest of his days.
3. A loving family who are looking for an amazing little pup who has a LOT of love to give.
