About Gibby

Meet Gibby! Gibby is a lively, affectionate young dog who adores being around his human companions. At just one year old, he previously lived with children aged 5-11, forming strong, playful bonds with them and the adults in the home. Now at the shelter, he's proven to be a total lovebug, eagerly leaning in for pets and placing his paws in laps. He even has a knack for knowing the command "sit," which he offers all on his own! While Gibby has shared his space with both dogs and cats, his energetic nature might overwhelm some animals. He would thrive best with a calmer dog who can match his energy and a cat that can handle his playful spirit. It's important to have slow introductions and some separation during the initial adjustment period. This active lad will require plenty of physical and mental stimulation to keep him happy, especially when he's alone. He is comfortable in his crate and will benefit from activities that challenge his sharp mind. If a sweet and spirited companion with lots of character is what you seek, Gibby could be your ideal match! Gibby is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.
