		<description><![CDATA[Our Kix Critters of the Week are Grizzly & Terra!! Grizzly is a German Shepherd with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He absolutely loves attention and will happily lean in for pets or give hugs, showing off his affectionate “big baby” side. He forms strong bonds with his people and enjoys being close, making him a very loyal and loving companion. Grizzly walks well on a leash, knows basic commands, and is mostly potty trained, though he may benefit from continued routine and consistency in a new home. Grizzly has a high energy level and will need regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep him happy and well-balanced. He would do best with an active owner who can provide structure and outlets for his energy. While he is very people-oriented, Grizzly does not do well with other dogs and should be placed as the only dog in the home. The only known exception is Tera from the adoption program, with whom he has shown compatibility. Grizzly is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested, and microchipped. He would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of attention, continue building on his training, and truly be the center of his owner’s world. Terra is a Pointer mix. She is sweet, independent girl who is ready to find a calm and loving forever home. She came in with her best friend and has shown she enjoys companionship, but she is also confident and comfortable doing her own thing. Terra loves spending time outdoors—one of her favorite pastimes is relaxing and watching birds. She would thrive in a home that appreciates her peaceful, observant nature and gives her space to enjoy the world around her. She is potty trained and has great basic manners. Terra is fully up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, microchipped, and spayed. Terra would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a calm, independent companion who still enjoys gentle connection and time together. Both dogs are $75.00 each or two for the price of one!!!
