Gabriel, or "Gabe" is not the tough dog he looks like - this boy is a total marshmallow, and the only thing bigger than that enormous head of his is his heart!
Gabe's life has been very difficult prior to coming into HugABull's foster program. He was kept for breeding and owned by an unsavory character who was breeding dogs for fighting, and isolated in an outdoor dog run most of the time. Gabe was kept with two younger, larger dogs who beat him up, and has terrible facial scars as a result. His ears have been cropped in a terrible home-crop job, which has left him with no external ear. His tail was docked also. Despite all of this, Gabe is a gentle, loving boy, who gets on well with other dogs, including his two canine foster sisters.
Gabe is estimated to be about 7 years old, past the nonsense of puppyhood, but with plenty of good years in him yet. He's a stately gent, with beautiful house manners. Gabe is a dream in the house, and has caught onto the foster home's routines quickly. He'll make a fantastic companion for someone who's looking for a laid-back pooch to snuggle and walk with.
However, Gabe needs your help. A routine exam during his neuter appointment turned up an enlarged spleen. We've been putting him through a flurry of tests, to try and determine why his spleen is enlarged and treat the cause, and the vet bills are quickly adding up. You can help Gabe, and others like him, by donating to HugABull's Lovely Fund.
Gabe will not be available for adoption until his health issue has been resolved. However, if you would like to be considered for Gabe once he's available, please fill out and submit an application form.
