Gates was picked up as a stray in Derby, NY. She’s a spayed, microchipped, 8.5-year-old French Bulldog/Boxer mix who never got reclaimed after her trip to the shelter. Something about her makes you want to slow down and make her comfortable—she’s easygoing, gentle, and wants nothing more than steady affection. Gates is all about connection: she lights up for pets and quietly soaks in every bit of attention. She’s crate-trained, house-trained, and seems happiest stretching out on a soft bed with someone nearby. Gates doesn’t need long walks or complicated routines. She’s settled and asks so little—calm digs, a safe home, and a caring person ready for a companion in her slower years. This is a good dog who would thrive with someone who values a peaceful, close bond. She gets along with other dogs and is at ease with children. Your new best friend is just one click away.
