About Gumbo

Gumbo is an easygoing boy who's eager to find his forever home. He arrived at PACC with his brother and, after a brief adoption, has showcased his excellent manners. He's both house and crate trained, enjoys car rides, and is a total couch potato at heart. Gumbo loves fruit and forms deep bonds with those he trusts. His friends at the shelter describe him as gentle and calm. Walks are a breeze with Gumbo; he walks well on a loose leash and remains unfazed by other dogs or people. He’s taken care of when handled, even when faced with a thorn, and takes treats with utmost gentleness. He thrives on affection and enjoys being petted, often making delightful dinosaur-like noises that are hard to resist. While he appreciates his independence during playgroup, he would do well to meet any resident dogs before heading home. Gumbo may take some time to adjust to new environments, but he has a lot of love to offer with just a bit of patience. Come meet this sweet boy and see if he’s the right match for you!
