Griff is a sweet goofy 11 month old German shepherd pup that loves to run around and play, super treat motivated, and loves all sorts of cuddles and attention you can give him. He’s got a funny rebellious little personality, is mostly housebroken, and just needs a new home that’s much bigger than an apartment to run around and someone with enough time and resources to give him the attention and exercise and play he deserves. His big sweet eyes will quickly become your biggest weakness, and he knows exactly how to use them too!
It breaks my heart having to rehome him since I already love him so much, but life circumstances have me realizing the best option is finding him a new home.

He is in need of much more exercise and attention than I can provide. I cannot afford many trainers or resources that people offer.

The best option is for him to go to someone who can train him properly and let him run around and not be in a crate all day.
