About Griffin’s Breed Mix:
Boxers are known for their affectionate, fun-loving personalities and their loyalty to family. They are playful, smart, and often referred to as “eternal puppies” because of their silly energy and love of interaction. A Boxer mix like Griffin is likely to grow into a medium-to-large companion who thrives with structure, positive reinforcement, and daily mental and physical exercise. They love to be with their people and enjoy everything from hikes to couch snuggles.

Griffin’s Story & Personality:
Griffin is just starting out in life and learning what it means to be a beloved pet. This charming black and white pup is already impressing his foster family with how quickly he’s picking up basic commands like “sit” and “paw.” While he’s still working on house manners and can be a little mouthy (typical for a teething pup!), he’s showing every sign of being a fast learner. He’s discovering the joy of toys, treats, and leash walks—and he especially loves being around people and other dogs. Since he’s still mastering his leash skills, a fenced yard will be a must so he can run and play freely and safely. Griffin’s balanced energy and loving nature make him a great fit for many types of families.

Griffin’s Perfect Home:



A fenced yard to safely zoom and explore


A family committed to continuing his training and socialization


Possibly a dog sibling to play and learn with


Older kids preferred while he’s learning not to nip during play


An adopter looking for a smart, sweet pup with a bright future
