Meet Gibson! This amazing dog has found himself at a high-kill shelter in Houston not once, but twice. When we saw his face on the euthanasia list the second time, we couldn't let that happen. We found him a foster home, brought him to safety, and promised he would never be unwanted again. Gibson is around 4 years old and weighs 55 pounds. He's that perfect blend of playful and relaxed, with a strong emphasis on playful! Want to throw a ball? He's ready to hop, jump, and fetch. When playtime wraps up, he'll stretch out on the floor, blissfully comfortable and totally content. He's likely a Lab/German Shepherd mix—though honestly, it doesn't matter. He's pretty close to perfection. Gibson is great with other dogs and wonderful with kids, even living with a 4-year-old in his foster home. He's leash-trained, house-trained, and enjoys car rides too. Social and personable, he greets new people like an old friend. While some rescues take time to warm up, Gibson is a social butterfly who thrives on human interaction. He knows commands like sit and paw, and he's working on down. He's a bit jumpy when excited, which adds to his playful charm. His ideal family will want to integrate him into their lives. Whether it's morning hikes, cozy Netflix evenings, or lazy afternoons in the backyard, Gibson is all in. This friendly pup doesn’t bark much, but will alert you with his deep, big-dog bark if someone approaches. He might not be the best guard dog given his friendliness, but that bark can still be pretty intimidating. After facing rejection twice, Gibson deserves a loving family who will cherish him. He is fully vetted and ready for his forever home. Located in Houston, Texas, he’s available for adoption nationwide, with an adoption fee of $600 that covers transport.
