Gabriel came to us from a rural shelter in the Carolinas after being hit by a car. The impact broke his leg and caused his eye to pop out. Although veterinarians were able to save his eye, he wasn't able to see out of it, so it eventually had to be removed. He has recovered quickly from that procedure as well as surgery to fix his leg. Although Gabriel is only a couple years old, he totally acts like a puppy. He is extremely curious, energetic, and playful, but also loves to snuggle. He adores playing tug, thinks chew toys are fantastic, and has a blast with stuffed toys and his Jolly Ball. Gabriel is doing great with potty training and is working on leash and crate manners. He's a quick learner and knows sit, kennel up, and hush. He is goofy and can be rowdy, but he totally wants to be a good boy. Gabriel wants to play and wants to be loved and cuddled. He certainly deserves it after his traumatic experiences.
Ideal Home
Gabriel is good with dogs that like to play as hard as he does. He needs a home with a fenced-in yard. He'd be fine as an only dog or would have fun with a well-matched dog pal. He'd love a family who might be interested in dog sports or other fun activities and who will spend time continuing to teach him how to be a great dog.
