Grizzly - Chihuahua and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Shinnston, West Virginia

The Grizzly with a Golden Heart
Don't let the rugged exterior fool you. Grizzly is an 8-year-old distinguished gentleman whose life was turned completely upside down. When he first arrived, the human world seemed scary and suspicious. He put up a tough, grizzly front to protect himself. But true bravery isn't about never being afraid; it's about pushing forward anyway. Grizzly has been making incredible progress every single day.
Understanding His Voice - Grizzly is a dog of many words, and sometimes those words sound like a growl or a bark. It is very important to understand that this is not because he is mean. It is simply his way of saying, "I am scared right now, and I just need a minute." He is incredibly expressive and uses his voice to communicate his boundaries as he navigates his new life.
The Reward of Patience - Once Grizzly feels safe and realizes he is out of harm's way, the magic happens. His suspicious guard drops, and his true colors shine through. Beneath that grizzly outer shell lies a curious, playful, and deeply affectionate pup. He is full of personality, fiercely brave, and ready to find a patient forever home that will give him the time and space he needs to blossom. He might even show you his praying hands.

No kids, quieter home preferred. Has done well with dogs his size and cats. Some vision issues due to age.
