Gabe’s Story Gabe 3 years, 5 months old Medium-sized Neutered male Gabe is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines & on flea/tick prevention. He is HEARTWORM POSITIVE but is currently undergoing treatment at our veterinarian. We can discuss treatment plans & options if you are interested in adoption. He will make a complete recovery, so do not let the HW+ status deter you! Meet Gabe, a 3‑year‑old neutered mixed‑breed boy with a heart that refuses to quit. He earned the nickname “Splat” during a terrible moment in his past — someone threw him against a concrete wall — but what’s truly remarkable is that his spirit never broke. Today, Gabe is all love, all joy, and all resilience. He does have a leg deformity, but don’t let that fool you — Gabe gets around just fine and doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. (A video is available so you can see his happy little trot!) What really defines him is his personality: friendly, social, affectionate, and absolutely thrilled to meet new people. He soaks up attention, leans in for love, and greets everyone like a long‑lost friend. Gabe is the kind of dog who reminds you what courage looks like. He’s ready for a home where he can finally receive the kindness he’s always deserved — and give back ten times the love. If you’re looking for a dog who’s sweet, resilient, people‑loving, and full of heart, Gabe is waiting to brighten your life! Adoption Fee: $200 Interested?
