GIFFORD IS ASKING FOR A FAVOR! Gifford is a retired detection dog from Poland. He has been in service most of his life making sure borders were safe and later checking airports for contraband. He loved his job. Some joint issues forced him to retire early and his handler can no longer keep him. He has past his prime making sure the public was safe. He is very thin, is missing part of his tail and looks older than his 6 years. He can get a bit anxious at times but is on medication. He has so much life and spirit left in him. He is the most devoted dog and would love someone else to adore. He watches his handler's every move. He doesn’t need long hikes, just a stroll or two and a back yard. It seems so unfair, but dogs like Gifford aren’t provided for after years of service. If you want to right an injustice, please consider giving Gifford a home. Love him the way he is and watch his happy, goofy side emerge! He loves long road trips, so if you're far away and want to drive to pick him up, it is okay with him. He loves other dogs but is too interested in cats. Please contact Sharon at sharon.n@att.net for more information about this special dog.
