About Gabe

Gabe arrived at the shelter with his brother on June 15, 2026. Both pups received treatment for fleas and worms and are expected to grow into big boys. Gabe is slightly shy, but his unique markings make him stand out. Unlike his brother Kirby, who resembles a Husky/Anatolian mix, Gabe has an endearing personality that shines in quieter moments. He does not get along with cats but is friendly with other dogs. While he is not yet house trained, he’s eager to learn and would thrive in a loving home. Ready to make Gabe a part of your family?
