Meet Grommet, affectionately known at the shelter as Sir Fancypants. Beneath his dapper nickname is a sensitive, mellow boy who has been overwhelmed by the shelter environment. While he’s still learning to trust—especially with things like over-the-head leashing—glimpses of his sweet, gentle nature shine through more every day as he feels safer.

🐾 Mellow, steady energy that brings calm to his surroundings
🐾 Sweet and gentle once trust is built
🐾 Loves cozy beds and is often found cuddling with kennel mates
🐾 Does well with other dogs and gains confidence from friendly companions

What He’s Looking For

✔️ An adopter who understands shy dogs and celebrates small wins

Grommet may be called Sir Fancypants, but what he really wants is safety, understanding, and a home where he can finally exhale. If you know the joy of helping a shy dog find confidence and bloom, Grommet could be your perfect match. This dog is available to meet by appointment only—submit an adoption questionnaire and come meet the gentle soul who’s ready to complete your pack. 🐾
