Gabe - In Foster Care



Name: Gabe
Sex: Male (neutered)
Breed: Mixed breed
Age: 4 1/2 years
Location: Camillus, NY


Vet/Medical Info: Gabe is neutered and heartworm negative now after being treated for HW two years ago. He is up to date on rabies and distemper (they are not due until 5/22/14). Had bilateral enucleation due to pain caused by glaucoma.  He weighs 41 pounds.  They had no other relevant information.

Owner Information: Gabe is a sweet boy who came from a local rescue.  He is an indoor dog with run of the house, and is housebroken and leash trained. He also knows many commands, including sit, shake, high five, stop, step up, and step down!  Gabe's owner believes he needs to be in a single pet home.  She says that he is a sweet guy who had been trapped in his own little world for a long time. He has done very well in their home and has come out of his shell. He has played with the other 2 dogs and is very much a "dog" at times.   At other times, though, he has reacted inappropriately with the other dogs in the household and they have responded the same because they have trouble reading him. There have been dog fights because of this. He is not aggressive but defensive, and can be possessive with toys, treats, or food, however, he has never shown any aggression towards people.  They feel that he adapts well to new situations, and said he has done better than expected in their household. He does like his routine - daily walks etc. He is in good health now that he's been successfully treated for heartworm and his eye problems have been resolved.  He's a healthy weight with a very nice coat.  They love Gabe dearly and only want the best for him.
