🌟 Meet Gabe, the gentle heart of a dog searching for a fresh start! This charming boy may have had a turbulent past, but he’s ready to embrace a new chapter filled with love and companionship. 🐾 Gabe has shared his life with other dogs and even cats, making him quite the social butterfly! He’s been a friend to children as young as 2, showing he's a kind soul who thrives in a family environment. Now, let’s talk about leashes! Gabe might not have had much exercise lately, but fear not! He walks nicely on a leash and has proven to be a delightful car passenger on his two-hour journey here. 🚗 Even though he’s had to use potty floor pads in his previous home, Gabe still has that reliable instinct to stick close to his human, maintaining that sweet loyalty we all adore. Gabe is not just a dog; he’s a cuddle companion who loves sitting nearby, enjoying your company without being a lap hog. He has a calm demeanor that makes any home feel warm and inviting. Plus, he’s had some veterinary care over the years and is just looking for someone to join him on his health journey. With a little support, this heavyweight cutie will be ready to shine! 💖 Did you know? Gabe's past experiences may lead him to appreciate a new buddy – whether that’s another dog or a human who’s around often. He quickly adjusted here, and with your love, he’ll transition beautifully into his forever home. The backstory of love and dedication is sweet yet bittersweet. Gabe and his friend Chewy were rescued from a touching situation where an elderly lady prioritized her pets over her own needs. While it may not be a fairy tale ending just yet, there’s so much love to give and receive in this new beginning! Gabe can be adopted for an adoption fee of $300. This fee includes all age-appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, and more—truly a complete package! 💰 Before you know it, you could provide Gabe with the forever home he deserves. Remember, you must be at least 25 years old to adopt from Joyful Rescues. Make sure to apply through the Buddy App and find your new best friend today! 🐶💖
