KING GRISTLE

Male, 3 years

When he first arrived in our care, King Gristle was absolutely full of himself and, to put it mildly, whopping mad about his new surroundings. He made it very clear that he was the ruler of his own domain and had absolutely no interest in getting along with the common folk.

But as the old saying goes, time heals all royal tempers. With plenty of patience, space, and understanding, the king has officially entered his diplomatic era. He has completely settled down, learned to trust his caretakers, and is actively warming up more and more each day. The fiery attitude he arrived with has softened into a genuine curiosity, proving that underneath that tough, grumpy-king exterior lies a boy who really just wanted to know he was safe. Because of his big personality and his journey toward trust, King Gristle is looking for a patient home that will appreciate his dramatic transformation and let him continue to warm up at his own royal pace. He has left his "whopping mad" days behind him and is ready to rule your heart with a much softer touch.
