Meet Gael, a charming little fellow who’s in search of his forever home! This sweet 3-year-old, weighing just 17 lbs, has weathered some storms in his life. Rescued from a challenging situation where his owner’s boyfriend was abusive, he’s showing remarkable resilience and strength! 🌈 While he was likely an only dog in his past, living in foster care has introduced him to the hustle and bustle of other dogs— and let me tell you, it's been a journey! At first, he might seem a bit skeptical, but what a transformation awaits! He's been observing his foster mom and her furry friends, and now he's practically glued to her side! 🥰 When he sees his foster mom walk through that door, his joy is contagious! He absolutely loves snuggling up at the end of her bed, bringing warmth and happiness like only a little lap dog can. ❤️ But patience is the name of the game; if you allow Gael the time he needs, you’ll unlock a love so deep it could fill a thousand hearts. And while Gael hasn’t had much experience with kids or cats yet, his curiosity and demeanor suggest he might just surprise you as he settles into a truly safe space. Every dog deserves a chance to shine, and with his gentle spirit, Gael is ready to find his trusted person! 🌟 **Requirements to adopt Gael:** - Must be a resident of the DFW area - Must be at least 25 years old - Stay-at-home or work-from-home parent - No apartments; fenced-in backyard only - Experienced dog owner - Vet reference required - Home visit mandatory Apply to meet this precious boy, and who knows?
