Update – January 2024
Sadly Gryff has returned to rescue. He was adopted and much loved. He was a wonderful companion but sadly his owner had a life altering condition and was no longer able to properly care for him. He has returned to rescue as we give life time back up for all our dogs. You can see his write up from before below. We do know he is a lovely dog – he walked well on lead, travelled well in car, could be left – a well behaved chap and really just needs the right home. He stills needs to be an only dog in the home (he is fine with other dogs and has friends outside) – he is a cuddly dog and just enjoys life. His condition is much better managed and we have got the medication level working for him. He does like to dig – typical terrier – so that needs to be understood and you must like help digging holes in your garden or furniture! he can be easily diverted – and put his energies into something more acceptable.
If you feel you are the right home for Gryff please let us know.

Please say Hello to our new Terrier SOS family member- this is the lovely Gryff
Gryff came to us as his family’s circumstances have changed – and this was proving to be too much for him to adapt and adjust to. His family care for him very much – but realised they could no longer offer Gryff the calm environment that he desperately needs. This has not been an easy decision for them- and we at rescue felt for them – but agreed that he needed a different home environment.
Gryff is a lovely Welsh Terrier – he is 5 years old, fully vaccinated and with full vet history. Gryff originates from the UK and we have his full history. He is now in kennels in Norfolk and is adjusting very well.
Gryff has been diagnosed with epilepsy and is on medication for this. He manages well, loves his food and treats and chews. He is a very affable chap. On walks, he can be reactive on lead to other dogs. He has lived with dogs, but he would cope much better as an only dog and having humans to himself and he will only be rehomed to a dog free house.
He enjoys his walks, he enjoys people company, he travels well in the car, He has been clipped on a regular basis (he can be sensitive over his feet and face – so any prospective groomer would need to be patient and kind).
He loves being with his family, will follow you round, get involved in your activities and also help landscape your garden. He can be left for short periods – but fundamentally would like someone around most of the time.
Gryff has developed a few ‘quirks’ – some very typical of the Welsh Terrier breed and some not. HOwever, we will discuss further with any suitable applicant. Any family would need to visit him in NOrfolk at least a couple of times prior to adoption.
He cannot live with cats, small furries or young children.
If you feel you can provide him the loving home he deserves – please complete a Homing Questionnaire – thank you
