Dog Name: Sailor

Breed: Pitbull mix

S*x: Male

Age: 2 years

Weight: 50 lbs

Medical Needs: None

Housebroken: Yes, he’s amazing

Crate trained: Yes, he’s a quiet boy and only barks if he thinks there’s an intruder or you’re saying hi first thing in the morning (which means breakfast)

Good in the car: He sits there and takes it all in.

Good on a leash: Yes, he walks like a gentleman

Energy level: He alternates between “giddy happy puppy” and “timid quiet mouse”

Need a fenced in yard: No

Dog Friendly: Yes, he loves everyone in his foster home, but is fed in his crate and his toys are kept in his crate too. He does well with a very slow intro, since he gets overwhelmed easily.
If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No

Cat Friendly: All cats are his friends and will get the happy playful paws as he prances towards them. Actually… the more we think about it… he might be part cat.

Kid Friendly: Yes

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Teen; BUT ONLY if your teen acts like an old soul and loves books, hot tea, and quiet afternoons knitting. Sailor does not enjoy loud obnoxious people, or unpredictable movements/noises. They make him nervous and overstimulated.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them:

Although Sailor is almost two years old, he had a rough uncertain start to his life and needs a family that is going to help give him firm direction. Once Sailor knows that you’re on the “good person list,” you’re on it for life. BUT… it takes a few meetings to get on the list, and you’ll have to go slow and steady when transitioning into your home. If he doesn’t know you he will cower, growl, and bark until a person he trusts says it’s ok. Due to his insecurities, he will require multiple meets in his foster home to make sure the potential adopters are on the “good person list” and comfortable handling him before Sailor goes to his forever home.

He is the type of dog that needs to know what to do in EVERY situation, and will look to you for structure and guidance. Sailor is the sweetest, happy tappy-toed gentleman in his current foster home, but his foster home has also learned to recognize when he is overstimulated and needs a break in his crate. His foster home will pass along all their knowledge to the adopters, to make sure Sailor is set up for success in his new home.

He is *very* nervous around new people, especially men, but he is learning that Mr. Man (his foster dad) is kind and gives him food and treats; Sailor even brings a stuffie to show him every night now, as part of his bedtime routine. At GRR, we encourage a two-week shutdown when adopting; Sailor will need a slow-and-steady approach that will take longer than that. Too much freedom and he gets nervous and defensive, so his adoptive home will have to exhibit patience and be willing to move at Sailor’s pace when giving him freedom around the house. He might take his time getting truly comfortable in your home, but he will reward you with kisses, snuggles, tappy-toes and undying loyalty and love.

Meet Yogi & Lily!

The delightful duo Yogi and Lily. Yogi is an 11 year old poodle and Lily is a 6 year old chihuahua mix. These two extremely sweet dogs are a bonded pair. Yogi loves to cuddle up on the couch take walks and follow his people everywhere. Lily is a renowned croc hunter. She absolutely loves to find a pair of “crocs” around the house and shake them into submissiion. The two dogs have fit seamlessly in with their foster family. The pair have been around children other dogs and previously lived with a cat. The perfect word to describe them is “endearing”. Unfortunately, they lost their mom unexpectedly. Despite the circumstances these two are the epitome of inspiring, love and affection. They are such a wonderful pair and will be sure to bring joy to a very lucky family. Yogi & Lily are both housetrained, UTD on vaccinations, microchipped and spayed/neutered. If you are looking for a pair of built in besties, look no further!
