About Gulliver

Meet Gulliver, a ten-year-old, large, black American Staffordshire Terrier mix living in Tomball, TX. He proves age is just a number—steady and calm, but still interested in toys and new adventures. Gulliver has a gentle way about him and bonds fast with everyone he meets. In his foster home, he's shown himself to be cuddly, loving, and eager to please. He gets along well with kids and other dogs, both in the home and during playgroups. While he's happy to be the only dog, he's equally content with a canine companion. However, he cannot share space with cats. Gulliver is leash-trained, crate-trained, and house-trained, so he settles right in. He was surrendered after his former family divorced, and his Doberman siblings have already found homes. Now, he's waiting for a family willing to open their hearts to a senior dog. Gulliver is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and healthy. His size and sweet disposition make him easy to love, and his loyalty runs deep. All he asks is a soft place to land for his golden years. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
