Oct. 9, 2013:   Grommit is one great pooch! This absolutely amazing nine-month-old puppy adores people and is very well behaved. Grommit may weigh 40 pounds, but that has not stopped him from thinking he is a lap dog. If given the chance, he would be happier than a slinky on an escalator to just sit in your lap and cuddle.

This special boy also has a unique skill--he has the ability to bring both shy people and insecure dogs out of their shell. His foster family bragged that he can get even the most stoic dog interested in playing with him.

If dogs could run for office, gregarious Grommit would most definitely give Mayor Marvin a run for her money. (Hey, maybe we could see if Mayor Mary Marvin is in the market for a second dog--together they could rule the world!)

Good Boy Grommit sleeps perfectly through the night, is housebroken and crate trained, and is great on a leash. He loves to go for walks and to visit his fans at the dog park. His foster family recently took him hiking and swimming and said he had a total blast on their adventure.

Grommit is up for anything you can throw his way. He is an easygoing All-American pup who would make an amazing family pet. He is ready and waiting for his forever family to give this rescue story a happy ending. Grommit is in excellent health, has been neutered, and is up to date with all of his vaccinations. His adoption donation is $250.

For more information, please contact Pet Rescue at 914-834-6955 or visit their website at www.NY-Petrescue.org.

Pet Rescue requires all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application prior to meeting with the dogs and cats in their care. The application can be found on their website. To expedite the process, please make a note that you learned about Grommit through MyhometownBronxville.

Pet Rescue has many dogs and cats in need of homes. Even if you are not quite ready to adopt, please still consider filling out an application. The website is updated daily, and some of the animals they feature, especially the puppies, can be adopted very quickly. Becoming preapproved can help ensure that you have a better chance of being matched with your first-choice dog or cat.
