Gates is a lighthearted, funny dog who brings a spark of joy wherever he goes. At about 3 years old and weighing in at 50 lbs, Gates still has a playful streak and never turns down a romp or a game. He’s deeply affectionate—always giving kisses and curling up for a cuddle when you need it most. Sometimes, his goofiness comes out and reminds you not to take life too seriously. Found in south Jackson after being attacked by other dogs, he’s lost part of an ear, but Gates doesn't hold onto bad memories and has no trouble trusting people or making new canine friends. He tends to get along with most dogs, especially friendly females, and genuinely loves companionship. If you want a loyal, loving, and entertaining partner by your side, Gates is ready to fill that role. Start your journey together! Apply now.
