Gabe Mastiff & Rottweiler Mix New Westminster, BC

Gabe is a handsome young big boy. He was surrendered by his family who felt they no longer had the time to give him. Gabe was described as a pit bull terrier & rottweiler mix, but due to his size and appearance, we believe he likely has mastiff in his breed mix. Gabe is an extra-large boy at approx 70+ kg and is almost 2 years old.

Gabe is a playful and goofy guy. He can keep himself entertained by throwing toys up into the air and running around the yard. He likes to show his toys to you.

We have seen great improvements with Gabe meeting new people. He can be nervous/afraid and sometimes he shows that by barking or even growling. We don't think that he has had a lot of positive experiences in this area. He seems to be fearful of new people, but food and keeping a respectful distance helps him gain trust. He can also get spooked by noises, etc.

Gabe has not had a lot, if any, up-close interactions with other dogs. He is buddies with another male dog at the shelter, but future canine pals will have to be thoughtfully selected and introduced. Out on walks, he likes to have distance and will watch other dogs. We believe he would be best in a neighborhood that isn't overrun with dogs. Dog parks will definitely not be his scene.

Gabe has no experience with little children or small animals. Due to his large size and lack of exposure to them, we feel it would be wise for him to not live with either.
