• “Im Grizz! Short for Grizzly, but my mom also calls me Mr. Baby Bear and butter bear. I look like a wolf, but I’m a big cuddle bear. I’m a hugger, not a biter! I get very excited to meet new people and say hi by giving hugs and chest bumps. I’m very playful and full of energy. I know I’m big, so I like to intimidate other dogs. However, it’s all talk. I actually enjoy playing with other dogs. Although, I like playing rough, and I know that’s not for everyone. Chasing is my favorite game! I love chasing other dogs that chase balls. I’m a big goof ball!“

  — Samantha B.
