Griffin's Story

Griffin’s Second Chance at the Simple Joy of Belonging<br/><br/>Adopt Griffin: Your Gentle, Loyal Shadow<br/><br/>Griffin is a sweet, gentle, and calm companion who just wants to be near his people. This handsome boy is fully potty-trained, highly treat-motivated, and knows his basic commands — sit, stay, paw, wait, and down! He’s an eager learner who loves car rides, cozy crate naps, and proudly carrying his stuffed toys around like little trophies. <br/><br/>At around 76 lbs, Griffin has a big heart to match his size and would love a walking buddy to help him shed a few pounds while enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. He is about 7 - 9 years old. Please consider welcoming Griffin into your home; he is such a sweet boy with such a sad life (through no fault of his own).<br/><br/>Recently, Griffin was abandoned at the shelter after being attacked by a group of dogs - and is understandably nervous around other dogs for now. He may get a little nervous on walks, but he’s easily redirected with treats and patience. Griffin is making steady progress and will thrive as the only pet in a calm, understanding home where he can continue to build confidence at his own pace. Griffin previously lived with cats.<br/><br/>After being abandoned 3 times at the city shelter, poor Griffin doesn't know why he keeps losing everything. Despite what he’s endured, Griffin’s spirit remains soft and full of love. He has no bite history, no food aggression, and adores being pet, snuggled, and praised. This resilient boy wakes up each day with hope — ready to love and be loved in return. He’s a survivor who greets each day with hope and gratitude<br/><br/>All Griffin truly wants is simple: a safe place to belong, gentle hands to comfort him, and a heart that will never give up on him. Griffin can live with cats, but not other dogs. Griffin is fully vetted, neutered, micro chipped, and ready to go home with YOU!<br/><br/>If you can open your heart & home to dear Griffin, please contact AmsterDog by call/text at 917-689-8414 or by email at info@amsterdog.org. <br/>Apply to adopt Griffin at AmsterDog.org
