"GRIZZ" *INTERESTING GUY* handsome German SHEPHERD "OHS- Portland"

Interesting guy!  Grizz gets to meet many new people at the shelter - both in and out of his large kennel space-  staff, volunteers, clients walking through. He often sits back and observes...and then at other times, he gets dramatic - "talking" to you, expressing himself. But he does not want to live in a shelter space forever.  Hope GRIZZ finds a great home soon who appreciates his intelligence and complexity :)

 "GRIZZ" AVAILABLE FOR Adoption at Oregon Humane Society  in PORTLAND

 "Looks like"German Shepherd, 5 yrs 74 lb neutered male $300 

 

What my friends at OHS say about me:

  • I love to be the center of attention. All eyes and pets on me, please!
  • I know some basic cues, such as sit and shake.
  • I'm very active and will need positive outlets for my energy.
  • I need to go to a home without small children.
  • I am not for the first time dog owner. Someone very familiar with canine body language is a must for me.
  • Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.

  • Mental enrichment activities are a great way to entertain me and work my brain.

  • The type of home I'm looking for:
