Hi everyone! My name is Grey, and I'm a very good boy looking for my next foster home.
Don't worry—I'm not looking for a new foster because I've done anything wrong! My wonderful foster parents would simply like to do more traveling, and it's not fair for me to spend long stretches of time in a kennel. So, it's time for me to mosey on over to a new home where I can spread out my dog bed, claim a cozy spot for my blanket, and continue being my best self.
So much has changed in my life since I met Angela and David. They have given me patience, confidence, and the opportunity to truly enjoy being a dog. I love hiking, exploring, and spending time outdoors. They've also helped me start a new treatment program through Boulder Vet that combines training and medication to help manage my anxiety. The difference has been amazing—I feel so much more comfortable and confident in the world.
I do take three medications twice a day, but don't worry—I'll happily remind you when it's time for my "cookie" medicine!
I still need slow introductions to new people, and while I enjoy other dogs, I do best when introductions are made carefully and thoughtfully.
You'll find more information about me below, but I wanted to ask: could you be my next foster home? I promise to bring plenty of love, loyalty, and gratitude to the family willing to give me a chance.
Love,
Grey
Meet Grey! This handsome 1.5-year-old Blue Lacy/Pittie mix is a total heart-melter with his soft silver coat and soulful brown eyes. Grey is a sweet, snuggly boy who adores his people and just wants to feel safe and loved. Grey hasn’t had an easy start, so he can be shy and easily startled—especially around strangers and men. He needs slow introductions and a patient family who understands that trust takes time. Once he feels comfortable, though? He becomes the wiggliest, happiest cuddle bug you’ve ever met. His tail never stops, and he’ll lean right into you for pets and affection. This boy is athletic, fun, and always up for an adventure! Grey loves hiking, fetch, tug-of-war, and anything that lets him run and stretch those legs. A fenced yard would be ideal. And when he’s done being an athlete, he’s just as happy curling up in your lap for a nap or nudging you for more love. Grey is also super smart! He’s mastered sit, down, place, out/drop it, heel, and waiting politely at doors. He walks nicely on leash and is working hard on feeling more confident around crowds and strangers—treats and gentle guidance make all the difference. He's crate trained, food motivated, and enjoys learning. Grey can be selective with other dogs and may get growly, so a dog-free home or a calm, compatible dog is best. He's actually been pretty good with most and has 2 new besties. We've been dog-sitting a family dog for the week, and Grey is thriving. He is, "Good with some dogs"! No young kids, please, as sudden movements can scare him. Cats are unknown. To help him continue to grow, Grey comes with lifetime training and support from the American Canine Academy! His perfect family will be calm, patient, kind, and experienced—someone who can help him feel safe while letting him blossom into the goofy, loving boy he truly is. If you’re ready to help a deserving pup heal and thrive, Grey is ready to love you with his whole heart. His adoption fee is $375.
