In the shelter’s words
Gruff (TX) is a male Shepherd mix rescued in Texas. Our veterinary partner estimates that Gruff is 1 year old at the time of intake in May 2022. Gruff is good with people and other dogs and cats. It's obvious that this sweet boy's life was in despair when we found him. We don't know if Gruff once had a family who loved him, or if he lived his whole life off the kindness of strangers in the street. But we do know that whatever his past life was, it's over and his life restarts today. Gruff is a handsome guy who plays so well with other dogs and doesn't even mind cats, he is very gentle who deserves the very best. He does great on a leash and gets excited for walks, he plays fetch with his pink octopus and mastering his commands like "come". He can be very playful so dog savvy kids or older (12+), he gets excited and likes to play. Gruff would do best in a fenced in yard. Gruff is in a foster home with 4 other dogs and he is doing so well, he longs for a home of his own. Please consider giving this happy boy a home and family. If you would like to give Gruff the happy life he deserves as a member of your family, please apply online to adopt Gruff (TX) at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org. All pets are current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter. Gruff's adoption fee is $450.
