Gabe has a past that would break most, but he’s pure perseverance. At just over three years old, this medium-sized, neutered mixed-breed boy has already lived through more than his share of hardship. He survived deliberate cruelty as a pup, earning the nickname 'Splat' after someone threw him against a wall. The real story, though, is his bounce-back. Despite a leg deformity, Gabe moves just fine and won’t let it drag him down. He’s currently being treated for heartworm and will make a full recovery—if you’re worried about his status, the rescue is happy to talk treatment details. Gabe’s personality stands out: he’s openly social, deeply affectionate, and greets everyone like an old friend. He craves connection, thrives on attention, and soaks up love from all directions. Gabe gets along well with other dogs but hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet. He’s house trained. If you’re after a resilient, people-loving companion with a seemingly endless well of heart, Gabe’s your guy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
