About Gibby

Gibby came from the Ionia shelter. His prior owners neutered him, then brought him in only days later with a fresh surgery scar. It’s quite shocking. He’s a wonderful little dog, with no known issues. Gibby is around 2 years old and has a striking grey and black medium-length coat. Regular grooming is essential, or his fur can become matted, as it was when he first arrived. He’s been shaved down since then and is on the mend from some skin issues related to that lack of grooming. Now he’s in good shape, just waiting on the results of a fecal test before going to his forever home. His friendly demeanor makes him a great companion. He gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making him a versatile addition to any family. Ready to bring some joy into your life? Gibby is waiting for you!
