"Gryphon is a little dog with a huge personality. He makes us laugh daily whether it's playing by himself with his toys or coming in to see me in the morning for his daily snuggle. He loves to snuggle and play and gives the greatest kisses. He really is a happy little guy who just wants to .....play! There should be an ample supply of toys, bones and dog beds for him wherever he goes."

Gryphon, rescue's virtually mythical beast--a puppy --is here for your consideration. His busy parents got jobs that required them to work very long hours, which left poor Gryphon lonesome.

Gryphon has, like so many Frenchies these days, dreadful allergies. He requires a special, raw diet to keep him from breaking into painful, infected skin. Monstrously unpleasant. He will quite likely require Apoquel in the future, which is a drug that is fairly expensive, depending on where you live and what your vet charges. Check and see what your market is bearing these days and then consider whether you are willing and able to shell out that amount for the rest of Gryphon's life.

He is allergic to cats, wool, and feathers, so cat and bird-owning folks and knitters who use woolen yarn should sigh and cast around elsewhere for another dog. His palate is long, but it is currently not causing him any problems. Later in life, palate surgery may be required to help him breathe.  How'd do you feel about paying for surgery for your dog?

Now that the ugly is out of the way, let's move on to Gryphon's finer attributes, which amount to one main thing: he loves to play. He'll play with children, with dogs, by himself, he doesn't care. We think children in the house should be older, so they can handle him and not drop or accidentally hurt him by carrying him around. Older kids can better defend themselves against a boisterous baby boy. Older dogs might be driven to their wits' end, so consider carefully whether you want to subject your elderly dog to the energy of this puppy. He'd do well in a house with another dog to entertain him or he'd love to go to puppy daycare and get his yayas out all day long. Applicants should be realistic about adopting a very active, playful, puppy--it takes a lot of attention and time for the first 2 years or so, and there is always the chance that Gryphon will turn out to be the rarest of all Frenchies--the lifelong active frog! He loves nothing more than playing with his nylabones or stuffies, often standing in his toy box to make his selection. He has lovely manners, but like many a young thing, he can get carried away. Tell us about your plans to keep Gryphon active, whether by virtue of long walks, doggy daycare, a good-natured canine sibling, or some other way.

We mentioned that he has lovely manners. He is housebroken 95% of the time. He is not crate trained but is gated in the bathroom when noone is home. He knows sit, come, and is working on leave it. He loves to sleep with you under the covers and all snuggled in.

Gryphon loves to be with his people. He needs a home where people are home most of the day or who can afford to have a dog walker to come in and visit him--or doggy day care. Once the puppy has worn off, he'd be a great workplace dog! Given his palate issues, we would prefer previous Frenchie owners. 

We prefer a home with room to run. He does laps around his foster house with his toys and the other dogs. A fenced yard is preferred as he loves his foster home's and spends hours exploring and playing!

His foster mom had just a few last words about him: "Gryphon is a little dog with a huge personality. He makes us laugh daily whether it's playing by himself with his toys or coming in to see me in the morning for his daily snuggle. He loves to snuggle and play and gives the greatest kisses. He really is a happy little guy who just wants to .....play! There should be an ample supply of toys, bones and dog beds for him wherever he goes."

There you have it! If you can provide the necessary toys and activity for Gryphon, in addition to the raw diet, please apply! He's doing loops around the living room in northern New Jersey, and he's small enough to fly anywhere.

FBRN dogs are in foster care in people's private homes. For the foster families' safety, we do not disclose specific locations, and we don't set up meet and greets prior to applications. For detailed information about the dogs in our care, please read the extensive bios on each dog.

FBRN does not ship dogs as cargo. Adopters are expected to pick up their dogs from their foster family.
