About Granite

Hi, my name is Granite! Don't let my name fool you, I am the softest and cuddliest boy around! I love nothing more than following my foster dad and foster siblings around so I can get all the pets and love. I came here from New Mexico to find my forever home. My mom is a Pitbull/mix, and my dad is a Boxer. I am doing very well on potty training but still have the occasional accident. When I go outside, I do very well at going potty right away. I am working on loving my kennel, but I just want to be out with my foster friends. At night, I sleep in my kennel outside my foster dad's bedroom. I have mastered sit and am working on stay, place, come, and down. My most valuable rewards are treats and a "good boy!" I see squirrels and bunnies in the backyard, but I don't really mind them. I also don't like to bark because I don't like to yell at my friends. In my foster home, I live with two dogs: a 2-year-old male Pitbull/Bulldog mix who is grumpy, and I've learned to respect his space. I also live with a 2-year-old Pitbull/Rottweiler female mix who loves to play with me, and I do so well when she corrects my play habits. I also love to share my toys with her, and we each chew on the ends of a bone when we are tired from playing. I also share a yard with a Husky and Weimaraner, who I always shower with kisses when I see them. I did meet the cat who lives in the downstairs unit, and I didn't really mind him. My foster dad loves to have people over, and I love to make new human friends and snuggle on the couch when they let me. That being said, I would love to meet YOU!

Ideal Home

Granite would love a home that can give him lots of attention and cuddles. He enjoys the company of other dogs and seems to do well with cats. He is learning to respect his canine housemates' space, so a home that understands dog body language would be ideal.

Ongoing Health

Granite is a healthy boy!

Training & Support

Granite is doing well with potty training, though occasional accidents may happen. He is getting used to his kennel but prefers to be with his family. He has mastered "sit" and is working on "stay," "place," "come," and "down." He is also learning to curb his barking. Positive reinforcement with treats and praise works best for him.
