While crate time isn't his favorite, routine helps him settle in. Gary loves other dogs and is thriving with two french bulldogs in his foster home. He'd be happy in a home with another playful dog. Cats are unfamiliar territory for him. Gary does well with a young child in his foster environment, showing only typical puppy mouthing and no signs of aggression. He's in the chewing phase, still working out what toys are for, but picks up new things fast. Leash walking is getting easier too—he's growing more confident every day. Once Gary bonds, he's fiercely loyal and loves being close. He's gentle, curious, and playful, looking for a home ready to guide him into adulthood. Gary is part of the DFW Rescue Me guest dog program, which means his ongoing care remains with his current foster. They can answer questions and arrange meetings.
