Graycious to Grenade

The puppy was a unique one. The moment anyone saw him, they would keep staring at him for a while.
Why, you ask? 

He was gray in colour, with a beautiful gray colored body and beautiful stunning gray eyes!

He had a loving and adjusting personality as well. No problem with other dogs, no problem with people, a jolly, soft and loving fellow!
Abandoned by someone in Hiranandani Meadows, Thane with another litter which was a few weeks older than he was. 

A horrible situation for the puppy. The new mother was not accepting of her step son. No food, no water and a bad life ahead. 

Niveditha, a girl from the same building was doing her best to keep him alive and healthy.
He was soon picked up by a family of animal lovers and taken home.
His foster care began. As he grew healthy, his features became more prominent. His hound like face and tail, along with cute ears. He was most likely a gray hound cross. 

Soon he was up for adoption. Owing to his unique color, there were calls from all over India asking for him. But we knew we had to select the best for him. 

Many got angry that we did not give them the puppy, many yelled and abused, accused us of not wanting a good home for him even! 

But we really needed him to go to a patient and lovely family who would love and care for him for the rest of his life. 

Saurabh took him home for a while, but soon he realised that it was a responsibility the family was not ready for just yet. In a couple of years, maybe.

With a heavy heart, Saurabh brought Graycious back to the foster home. 

Soon, he was up for adoption again.
And then came along Carey Vaz and his family. After a chat over the phone, Carey immediately came and met him. He fell in love with him instantly. 

The following Sunday, Neha Dabir and Avinash Raghunathan went all the way to Marol from Thane to meet Carey and his family. They came back with beaming faces. 

They were happy to have met Carey's family and really happy that Graycious (Saurabh had named his that temporarily) would be going there. 

Graycious' vaccination and deworming had been started in the mean while, so that he did not have any problems in the future. 

The following day Carey took Graycious home and named him Grenade. Carey and his family are thrilled to have little Grenade in their home! 

We hope Grenade has a lovely life with Carey and his family!
