🌟 Meet Gavin! 🌟 This gentle soul found his way to the rescue when his previous owner could no longer care for him. While his past remains a mystery, what’s crystal clear is that Gavin is an absolute sweetheart who deserves more than just a kennel. Gavin is a delightful blend of Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd, and at just 2 years old, he’s bursting with potential! With his striking markings and strong, athletic build, he exemplifies loyalty, intelligence, and the kind of spirit that yearns for the right home. Here’s what we know about our handsome boy: - He’s as sweet as can be and gets along wonderfully with people! 😊 - Initially, he might come out a little “hot” from his kennel, but fear not—there’s not an ounce of aggression in him. - Gavin is super easy to leash and handle, though he does need a bit of practice with leash-walking—don’t worry, this will improve with patience and love! - He’s already mastered basic commands like “sit” and “stay.” - Treats? He takes them oh-so-gently, proving he’s got manners! - In a surprising twist, he confidently rocked a tie for his photoshoot—what a champ! 🎩 - When it’s quiet time, you’ll find him patiently sitting in his kennel, though you can tell he’s feeling a little lonely and perhaps missing his special human. 💔 What breaks our hearts is that Gavin doesn’t bark or act out—he simply waits. And oh, how he deserves a chance to thrive in a loving home! 🏡 We’re looking for a responsible adopter who can provide Gavin with structure, guidance, and plenty of love. Due to his breed and age, a meet-up with any resident dogs is required to ensure harmony, and we recommend loving families with older children only. 🧑‍🧒 Gavin’s ready to shine outside the shelter, and a calm, nurturing environment will allow his sweet personality to blossom. Let’s give this lovable boy the second chance he truly deserves! Ready to welcome Gavin into your heart and home? 💖 Then it’s time to apply through the Buddy App! A team member will reach out to you within 24-48 hours to schedule a meet and greet. Let’s get Gavin out of that kennel and into a cozy home where he can finally relax! 🌈
