Granite 13896's Story

If you happened to see "A Few Good Dogs," you will recall Granite, a leggy rat terrier with a signature stub tail, in the Tom Cruise role. Ears at attention, standout brows, a serious demeanor enhanced by undeniable cuteness, his performance was a Method masterpiece that happened to align perfectly with his off-screen personality. He's a gentle and studious sort whose slight vision impairment means he likes a slow approach from dogs and people -- two species with whom he gets along very nicely. He's polite, energetic, likes a snuggle and a soft place to nest. And he can handle the truth! Which, in this case, is that whomever adopts him is about to win the dog lottery.<br/><br/>Here's some notes from his foster: <br/><br/>Granite is a chill guy, and is content to snooze in his bed whether you're in the room or not. While he has some vision impairment, it doesn't hold him back and he enjoys going for walks and can get around in my apartment as well. He loves finding treats in a snuffle ball or snuffle mat! He's good on walks and seems to enjoy meeting new people. He can be a little apprehensive around other dogs, but is mostly indifferent.<br/><br/>He can manage going up stairs, but struggles going down. He's potty trained and will often wait by the door if he needs to go out. I'll give him a treat when he comes back in. He hasn't had any accidents for weeks. <br/><br/>He really likes to be outside and will often take a few laps around my backyard or lay in the grass. Granite sleeps in a bed beside mine at night. I usually put a few treats in his bed and he'll go right in, where he'll stay until the morning. He does well with handling and seems to enjoy having his ears scratched.
