If you’re a musician, and specifically a guitar player, you know that a Gibson is the way to go! It’s one of the best, so it’s no coincidence that one of our best boys is named Gibson too! This big old brindle baby (and he really is just a baby at under two years old) was a bit unsure when he first came to the shelter- who can blame him? It’s a pretty overwhelming place! But Gibson has already started to learn the shelter routine and has endeared himself to staff and volunteers alike. He can usually be found at the front of his kennel smiling and wagging his tail, patiently waiting for his turn to go on a walk. Here’s what staff and volunteers have said about him:
“I first met Gibson when he was new to the shelter and I couldn’t wait to help this scared baby acclimate. When I walked him for the first time he was easy to leash, seemingly eager to get out of his kennel. He wasn’t focused on me at all but walked nicely and returned to his kennel easily. The next day I walked him again and he showed more personality. Still more focused on his surroundings and sniffing all the smells, he finally did give me a quick kiss to the cheek - WIN! He has opened up so much. He meets you at the kennel door with a loose body and waggy tail. He has really grown on me and I knew he had this potential in him to shine!”
“I spent some time with Gibson out in a yard today. He spent about ten minutes exploring the yard and paying no attention to me. He then approached me and I was able to slowly pet him. After this interaction, he warmed up immensely and approached me multiple other times for affection and would even lean into me when I would stop petting him. He is a very sweet, gentle boy who just needs a lot of love and patience.”
When meeting other dogs in playgroup Gibson was tolerant and independent. He didn’t interact much but did seem to enjoy just being around the other pups. A calm, confident furry friend to show Gibson the ropes in his future home would likely be great for him! Gibson will thrive in a dog savvy home with a family who will take things at his pace and help him build confidence. Ask to meet Gibson today!
