Meet Gibson — Ready for His Fresh Start! Gibson came to us as a stray when his finder contacted Animal Control. She had seen him roaming the area for months and finally managed to secure him safely when he wandered onto her property. After witnessing him run in and out of traffic multiple times, she feared for his safety. She posted him on social media hoping to locate an owner, but no one came forward. When our officer arrived, Gibson was scanned for a microchip, but he had no chip and no ID. He was brought to the shelter for his stray hold, but unfortunately, no one ever came to claim him. Gibson is now looking for a loving, permanent home. During his time here, Gibson met a similar-sized neutered male. He approached with a wagging tail, and both dogs exchanged lots of friendly sniffs. Gibson was eager to play, but the interesting smells around the yard captured his attention, and he spent his time happily exploring. This gentle, sweet dog will be a wonderful addition to the right family. If you can offer Gibson the forever home he deserves, please visit us at 430 Bristol Drive in Statesville.
