Griffin's Story

Griffin is being fostered in CT. The fosterer will travel for a meet and greet.<br/><br/>Griffin wants to be your new BFF!<br/>Griffin is an Aussie and is about 2 years old.<br/>He was just neutered on Dec. 9th, and is now ready for adoption.<br/>Here is what his foster mom has to say about him:<br/><br/>Griffin is SUCH a sweet boy!<br/>Although he was initially nervous in every strange situation, he adjusted pretty quickly. He is very comfortable at home with me and with people he sees regularly. We are working to help him feel more confident with strangers. That said, he is a VERY energetic boy and needs training. He is very food driven and loves his people so will be easy to train. He is very fast and on the move, and turns on a dime to come back when called.<br/><br/>Griffin takes a bit of time to warm up to strangers. Treats make everything great! He is very in tune with a person’s energy. If they are relaxed and happy, Griffin will settle and become relaxed too.<br/><br/>He LOVES my nine year old granddaughter, but he gets overly excited and will begin grabbing her hand for attention. It is a bit much for her. Because of his energy level, I believe a home with no children would be best.<br/><br/>Griffin would love to have a rough and tumble dog sibling to play with! He can be pesty at times with the dogs here who are all seniors. He tries so hard to get them to play with him! He loves being out in the yard and will run and run! Once all the dogs and people go in, though, he wants to be inside with them.<br/><br/>He has met the cat and remained calm the whole time. She came down her cat tree far enough to give him a nose to nose greeting (very rare) and he was great. He readily followed me out of the area when I left. Judging from how he tries to play with my little dog, I expect he would attempt the same with the cat if she’d come out of her area. I think he could live with dog savvy cats and learn to leave them be.<br/><br/>Griffin is totally house trained. He has never had an accident in the house. If I leave the house for several hours with the dogs home loose, he is fine and has had no accidents. At bedtime, he stays quietly sleeping loose in the bedroom all night.<br/><br/>Griffin rides very well in the car. I use a harness and seat belt clip. He loves looking out this way and that and he is getting very good at untwisting himself! He also crates well in the car and rides very quietly.<br/><br/>Griffin is not a fan of medical handling. He is very loose and wiggly at the vet and loves getting attention, but as soon as the exam begins, he is nervous and reacts. We get through it with gentle handling, a cage muzzle and string cheese!<br/><br/>So much potential here!<br/>I cannot wait to see all the things he does going forward!<br/><br/>Griffin is being fostered in CT.<br/><br/>There is nothing like an Aussie Butt Wiggle<br/>and Griffin’s is the best!<br/><br/>See more pics and fill out an application on our website, echorescue.com
