Learn more hereGriffin is a sweet, sensitive gentleman who is ready to find his forever home! He came into Oakland Animal Services with some bumps & bruises, but he has remained a loving but shy guy. At just 1 - 2 years old, we don’t know what his life was like before he arrived at our door, but he has been earning rave reviews from his foster family while he’s been recuperating. Griffin is house-trained, loves sleeping and napping in his crate (either with or without his favorite humans nearby), and is very food-motivated.

Griffin needs an adopter who will let him get comfortable and learn he can trust you at his own pace. He has some handling sensitivities and can be nervous until he gets to know someone, but once he trusts you he blossoms into a sweet, friendly and wiggly pup. He’s a petite 50 pounds and has been friendly with other dogs.
