Hi, I'm Greg! I came from one of our Tribal Partners!

Greg is looking for a special person or family to adopt him.

Greg loves playing and interacting with people, learning new training cues, and spending time outside. He's fully potty trained and is fine left out of his crate at night and while we're gone. Greg can get a little mouthy when he plays and sometimes forgets his size. For that reason, he'd be best in a home without young kids. Greg's biggest challenge is his reactivity while outside. This means he'll bark, jump, and get really stressed when he sees another dog, any small critter, or cats. We've been making progress but he'll likely always need more personal space.

Shortly after arriving at Secondhand Hounds, Greg was diagnosed with Renal (Kidney) Dysplasia. This means his kidneys didn't fully develop, are working really hard to keep up, and will eventually fail. To make things easier on his kidneys and slow their deterioration, Greg now eats a prescription diet which he absolutely loves. He visits the vet several times a year to check his kidney function and has been doing fantastic! Watching Greg's fun and playful spirit, you'd never guess he had a medical condition. He LOVES tennis balls and squeaky toys and wants to bring happiness to the lives of everyone he meets.

What will help Greg thrive in the future?
Someone who knows about or is willing to learn about reactive dogs.
An adopter who understands that Greg isn't the type of dog you can take to the neighborhood coffee shop or busy lake for a walk. He's not a big fan of car rides either, but loves being outside in a more private outdoor environment.
Someone who is okay with the cost of his current and future medical needs.
An adopter who will love him! He has lots of love to give and is such a good, sweet boy!
