Hi! I'm Grits my foster mom calls me Gigi. I'm looking for best friends! For my breed, I'm on the smaller side (I was the runt of the litter). Can you believe I didn't even weigh 3 pounds when I was 2 months old?!?! I think I have some baby pictures in my profile, check them out to see how far I've come! I'm 11 months old now, so I'm just about as big as I'm ever going to get.

About me, I'm super cute and silly. My favorite things are zoomies, playing with my foster brothers and sisters, squeaky toys, peanut butter, and snuggling with my humans while I snooze. When I want attention, I'll just come up and put my head on your shoulder. I am a little unsure of new surroundings and people, but warm up very quickly. I'm being fostered in a home with 6 other dogs, so I get along well with other dogs. I am a chewer, so appropriate chew toys are a must! When I was younger, I had a cat friend, but I haven't been around any cats since I was 4 or 5 months old. I love kiddos, and I think I would be a perfect addition to a family with kids, even younger kids.

If you are looking for a little cutie-patootie with loads of personality that likes to snuggle, I'm your girl!

Likes: Peanut butter, squeaky toys, cuddling with humans and dogs, zoomies, playing with dogs and cats (not necessarily in that order)

Dislikes: Not tasting what is being cooked in the kitchen (if something hits the floor, its fair game), and well, that's about it.

Hi! My name is Grits, but my foster mom calls me Gigi and GigiMonster. Why Monster you may ask? It's because I'm being fostered in a house with 2 of my littermates, and 4 other dogs. I get along fine with all of them (when my brother steals my toys because he is a complete butthead, the demon in me comes out!!!) but I make noises that sound like a monster when I play. Also, when I sleep I snore, and my farts don't stink, but they are so loud that I'm even surprised by them (TMI, I know, but I want to be completely transparent). I hope this doesn't turn you off to my charms.

Though I am small, I am energetic, spicy, playful, fun, and have a huge personality. I think I would do best in a home with space to run and another dog, or maybe even cat, to snuggle with. In the place of canine or feline companionship, I am willing to accept human companionship. I just hope you do not want to ever go to the bathroom alone, sleep alone, or eat alone. I won't steal food off of your plate, but will insist on taste testing what you have. My favorite place to sleep is wedged between you and the back of the couch, or in the bed under your arm. I like to give kisses. When I sleep, I'm dead as a doornail. I immediately gain 30 pounds, and all of my bones become noodles = good luck moving me.

On a serious note, I am close to being house trained, I do ok in a kennel (we call it a dodo) for short periods. I am working on sit, down, and recall. I am motivated by treats and affection, but mostly treats. I will be ok with your dog. I like cats. I've never been around kiddos, but I'm sure I will like them too. I just like cuddles, play, and food! It's the trifecta!
