My story

DOB: 10/16/2022 Breed: Terrier mix-Neutered male 11lbs-Microchipped & fully vaccinated-Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative*Adoption Fee $400*A little bit about me… Hey there, I’m Grits! I got my name from my days hanging around a breakfast spot, cruising the streets like a local celebrity. Life looks a lot different now, and I’m ready for my next big adventure..a forever home! I’ve gotten a glow up since arriving at the shelter and even learned how to walk on the leash. I enjoy playing with other small dogs and always bring positive vibes wherever I go. I’m still learning the ropes though and will need help with basic training and potty training. I’d be a great walking partner and would love to be your little travel buddy, whether that’s road trips or neighborhood strolls. If you’re looking for a cheerful, fun-loving pup who’s ready to start fresh, I’d love to meet you!The highlights…-Minimal shedding-I need all basic training -Happy to make new friends-Secure fence requiredKey points to know…-Training is a must: As a former stray, I’m still learning all the basics like potty training, house manners, and routines. Consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement will be key.-Potty training: I’m sweet and lovable, but I currently mark/pee on all areas of my kennel. A committed adopter should be prepared for frequent potty breaks, supervision, and continued training to help me succeed.-Adjustment time is normal: New environments can be exciting and overwhelming for little terrier mixes like me. With structure, boundaries, and time, I’ll settle in and show just how great of a companion I can be.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Grits, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
