Grady

My story

Pitbull Mix Age: 2-3 yrs old Male, Neutered 50 lbs Click here for Adoption Application Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Grady (a.k.a. “Bear”) came to foster care from the Stockton animal shelter with a plea to save this wonderful dog. Grady likely was hit by a car and was limping around for an estimated month prior to being picked up by animal control. He had a broken pelvis and needed FHO surgery. He was probably in a lot of pain for two months, if not more. Despite his pain, Grady was labeled a “staff favorite” at the shelter due to his sweet demeanor and love of affection from his human friends there taking care of him. This information led him to being saved by a willing foster with pittie experience and Nobody’s Perfekt Rescue. Grady was pulled out of the shelter, just in the nick of time. Once in foster care, Grady took a couple of weeks to get used to the house dog. He was in pain, in a crate and in an unfamiliar place, so slow introductions were needed. After about two weeks, he and the house dog, a female pittie named Ruby, became best friends and love play. Grady would love to have a friend to play with in a home but could likely also be the only dog. Grady would be best suited for a dog friend similar in size and gets along well with female dogs. Grady needs slow and proper introductions to another dog through crate or area rotation. On leash, he can be leash reactive when around other big dogs that he does not know. He walks well on leash otherwise but is still limping on his rear left leg. Grady is a cuddle-lovebug with a very cute little underbite and has the face of a baby bear, hence his nickname. He loves every human he has met so far and loves sleeping in his foster mom’s lap. Grady loves to melt into your arms or lap and hang out on the couch and loves affection. He’s an easy dog to handle and listens well. He knows how to sit, wait and probably shake, but loses balance when he tries, due to his rear leg. Grady will alert when someone is at the front door and barks at leaf blowers and loud equipment. He will need regular attention and training but responds well to treats and food. He should also be fed separately from any other dog in the house, as most dogs do when food is present. Grady sleeps through the night in his crate and is house-potty trained. He knows how to use a doggie door and uses it regularly in his foster home. Any home would be lucky to have Grady-Bear and he would make a wonderful addition to any household. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Grady, contact: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com
