Gaten's Story

Gaten is a lovable 4-year-old boy who has already fought so hard for his second chance, and now he's just waiting for the family who will make it all worth it.<br/><br/>Gaten was rescued from Orange County Animal Services in Orlando just moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized. He made it out of the shelter in time, but his journey wasn't over yet. After entering rescue, Gaten needed treatment for a painful case of “happy tail.” Ultimately, his tail was amputated, allowing him to finally heal, feel comfortable, and move forward pain-free.<br/><br/>Through all of it, Gaten has never lost his sweetness. He is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and full of love for the people around him. He loves making new friends and has a happy, easygoing personality that makes him such a joy to have around. After everything he has experienced, his ability to simply love and trust people is pretty special.<br/><br/>Gaten is dog-friendly and could happily share his forever home with a canine companion, or he would be perfectly content soaking up all the attention as your one-and-only spoiled pup. He is fully vetted, healthy, and ready to leave the hardest parts of his story behind him.<br/><br/>Gaten came heartbreakingly close to never getting this chance. He survived the shelter, overcame his medical challenges, and now there is only one thing missing from his story: a forever home of his own.<br/><br/>This sweet boy has been given his second chance at life. Now he just needs someone to give him his happy ending.

Compassion Kind's Adoption Policy
Compassion Kind is a 501c3 global humanitarian and animal welfare organization inspiring global citizens to extend their circle of compassion to all kind. We work with partners and volunteers on the ground in Puerto Rico to educate and reduce the suffering of animals due to natural disasters and the ongoing stray problem. A majority of our cats and dogs are from Puerto Rico, but we do take in occasional local owner surrenders as well. Once our animals are taken into our care, we assess their needs and how we can provide the best care and forever home for them. We begin their vetting process while in Puerto Rico and finish after they are flown and placed in foster care in Florida. All animals' vetting is completed by the time of adoption. During our foster process, we continue to analyze their behaviors and needs to help us find the best fit for them. Once we begin taking applications for each animal, we begin our screening process to see how each candidate may fit the specific animals needs. We then choose 2-3 potential candidates, as we don't want to overwhelm the cat or dog, for a meet and greet. Our meet and greets help the potential adopter and pet see if they are a great match! If the meet and greet goes very well, the potential candidate may move into our one week home trial. During the home trial, we do a home visit and check in to make sure that the dog or cat is adjusting well. At the end of the trial, if it is the perfect match, we move into adoption in which their individual adoption fee is paid and we transfer all records and paperwork to the adopter. Our animals are so important to us; we work hard to save them and we owe it to them to find the best life for them. We love to keep in touch with all of our adopters so we can continue to watch our cats and dogs flourish!
