MEET GRIFF — THE POODLE WHO LOVES PEOPLE EVEN MORE THAN BUDDY THE ELF LOVES SMILING <br/><br/>Breed: Purebred Poodle<br/>Age: ~1 year • Weight: ~40 lbs<br/>Housetrained: Yes<br/>Good with: Dogs and Kids (Cats unknown)<br/>Characteristics: Snuggly • Playful • Smart<br/><br/>If Buddy the Elf met Griff he’d definitely gasp, clap his hands, and say:<br/>“OH MY GOSH! I KNOW HIM!! HE’S MY FAVORITE!” <br/><br/>Griff is a lovable, goofy, 1-year-old purebred poodle who brings the same energy as Buddy the Elf running through the revolving door or shouting “SANTAAAAA!!!” He’s lived with kids, gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, and has a warm, joyful personality that could brighten the mood of even the grumpiest of mall Santas. <br/><br/>But just like Buddy wants to be with his people as much as possible, Griff really needs a home where someone is home much of the day. He has anxiety when left alone, so lots of companionship (and maybe a friendly resident dog) would help him feel safe and secure.<br/><br/>He’s also super smart — the kind of smart where you could absolutely picture him saying, “I’m a cotton-headed smarty-paws!” He LOVES learning new tricks and would be a blast for anyone who enjoys training and engaging with a bright, eager dog.<br/><br/>What makes Griff extra special is how deeply he bonds. He’s affectionate, snuggly, and the type of dog who wants to curl up with you for movie nights, sledding-days, or a marathon of the movie Elf. His foster family is helping him build confidence with alone time, and his new home will need to continue that support.<br/><br/>If you want a loving, joyful companion to fill your December with warmth, laughter, and maybe a few “Buddy-isms,” Griff might be the perfect fit.<br/><br/>Griff is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and comes with a free month of pet insurance. He will need regular grooming. <br/><br/>And remember:<br/>Adopters aren’t chosen first-come, first-serve — we choose the home that fits Griff best. Could that be you?<br/><br/>Apply at: Adoptapal.org/adopt<br/>Adoption fee is $500<br/><br/>“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is adopting Griff and keeping him near!”
