Gambet's Story

Current Location: Frederick, MD <br/><br/>Meet Gambet: A Black Gentleman with a Heart of Gold<br/><br/>Gambet is a big love bug and a real sweetheart with a kind and sweet soul. This gentle boy is happy to be in a home with people who care, and he's ready to bring that same devotion and joy to his forever family.<br/><br/>Snow Lover Extraordinaire<br/>Gambet LOVES the snow! He romps in it, eats it fresh, sticks his muzzle in to sniff and taste, and makes holes with his paws to explore. He climbs partially up hills to leave his scent and manages his steps expertly where he falls in, eventually jumping out to the sidewalk. When a neighbor takes him for a run, you can tell he wants to race up and down the snow hills with pure joy.<br/><br/>Walk Enthusiast<br/>Gambet loves his walks. The longer, the better, and the happier he is! He's easy to walk and doesn't pull, making him a pleasure to take out. He'd love to meet every dog he sees and will whine a little when he can't greet another pup, but he's always polite and gentle.<br/><br/>Affectionate and Loving<br/>This boy loves being brushed, petted, scratched, rubbed, and kissed. He loves being with his humans and greeting other pups. He's been gentle with the children he's met, showing his kind nature with everyone. When family came over, he went person to person to get petted, then started over again! He just wants to be loved, fed, and petted.<br/><br/>Gentle Companion<br/>Gambet is a gentle boy who loves to snuggle. He hasn't played much with toys so far, though he moves them around and is interested in squeaky toys. He does like chewing on Nylabones and enjoys a Kong or good treat. He tried to be a lap dog but couldn't quite fit in the chair, though he gave it his best effort!<br/><br/>Well Behaved<br/>Gambet can be left out in the living room and kitchen areas where he's very well behaved. No barking or whining when left for several hours. He comes to see his foster when he wants attention and lays by her side sometimes. Other times he's happy lying in his dog bed, taking turns in each one. He lays with his head and shoulders on the floor because the dog beds aren't quite large enough for him to stretch out on, but he's a happy camper!<br/><br/>Best Home Fit<br/>Gambet is a really kind and sweet soul who would thrive in a home that will give him long walks (especially in the snow!), lots of love and attention, and the companionship he craves. Whoever gets this lovely boy will be very lucky.<br/>If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who loves walks, adores the snow, and just wants to be loved, Gambet is waiting to meet you! Apply today!

Operation Paws for Homes's Adoption Policy
Our organization provides pet adoption services to families located in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We believe in responsible adoptions and strive to work with each adopter to find a good match for their home and lifestyle. Our adoption process includes completion of an application, a vet check, an interview, and a personal “meet and greet” where the family can meet and interact with their potential new four-legged family member. Throughout this process, we work to ensure each family and dog are the right fit for each other. We are fortunate to have some wonderful and active volunteers who help OPH find forever homes for over 1,000 dogs and cats a year. The key to that statement is - volunteer! Please remember that our organization is driven by caring individuals who give their personal time to help rescue these animals and provide them with the opportunity to find an amazing future! In addition to adoptions, volunteers carry out education and outreach events throughout the area, and conduct donation drives for our partner shelters in the south. Our goal is to offer a second chance to dogs and cats abandoned in shelters and out of time. Sadly, without our help, some of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - sometimes within days of arriving at the shelter. Each year we rescue hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats. We work hard to unite them with forever families who will give them the life and love they deserve. These animals are saved only because of the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers.
