About Gad

Gad is a striking black Cocker Spaniel who truly deserves his name. Often seen exploring Muttville, he's friendly and ready to make new pals while on the lookout for tasty treats. Though he could use a bit of grooming, one trip to the beauty salon will have him looking his best. His shaggy ears and distinctive furry boots give him a unique appearance, and he's eager to find that forever home to strut his stuff. This playful yet calm boy enjoys walks but can get a little excited, so there's room to work on his leash manners. Gad greets other dogs with enthusiasm, his wagging tail showcasing his friendly nature. He knows commands like "sit" and "shake," and is house-trained, handling his business outdoors with ease. Gad has a hearty appetite, and breaking his meals into smaller portions helps him enjoy them more slowly. He's also very affectionate, enjoys car rides, and loves to fetch toys, often making adorable growling sounds while he plays. A great sleeper, he curls up in a dog bed at night. This lovable senior is ready for a home that appreciates his playful spirit and will keep him active and happy. Click apply to start the adoption process.
