Mellow Gabe has been in foster care for eight months and is ready for his forever family. Help us spread the word about this sweet guy and find him the permanent home he deserves.
To meet Gabe is to love him: he's gentle and loving with everyone he meets. He has wonderful house manners and is a laid-back companion. No crazy puppy energy here, although he LOVES to play with his ball and his Kong!
Gabe is about eight years old and in good health, but he didn't come to us that way. His first owner kept him in a pen with two younger, bigger dogs who continually picked on him and inflicted nasty wounds on his face and body. He has one of the worst ear-crop jobs we've ever seen, leaving his ear canal completely exposed.
Other than his physical scars and a little uneasiness around new dogs, you'd never know that Gabe came from a rough background. He's a giant, cuddly marshmallow of a dog who loves to be tucked in at night with his blankie.
We're not sure why it's taken Gabe so long to find a home. He'd be a wonderful addition to a family, and would be a fabulous companion for kids. He does well with other polite, socialized dogs as long as introductions are made slowly, so a home with an existing dog shouldn't be a problem. But cats will be...felines are the only thing Gabe doesn't get along with.
If you know someone who might make a good match for Gabe, contact hugabull@gmail.com or forward them our adoption application at www.hugabull.com/application.html
