About Gary

Meet Gary, the spirited 30 lbs hound mix who's more than just a senior dog—he's a bundle of joy and energy. At over 8 years old, Gary brings a youthful spirit and love for outdoor adventures that could surprise anyone. He doesn't fit the stereotype of a sleepy senior; instead, he's ready for games of fetch and long hikes. Fully house-trained and crate-trained, Gary makes moving to a new home seamless. Just keep in mind that he prefers a cat-free environment due to his strong prey drive; he does, however, get along well with other dogs. Gary has some dietary needs due to previous skin issues and chronic ear infections. Currently, he follows a specialized salmon diet to keep him feeling his best. Gary’s perfect home would be with active adults or families who enjoy an energetic, playful companion. If you’re looking for a lovely dog who’s past the puppy chewing phase but still full of life, Gary might be the right fit for you. Ready to be Gary's new adventure buddy? Apply today!
