GATOR

This handsome guy with the perfect pointy ears is ready to find his forever home. He’s a friendly fellow and recently transferred to us from another shelter to get a fresh start. Could you be the one he’s been waiting for? Notes from his adventure buddies and foster friends: He is very energetic and was not shy at all. He is very playful and loves playing with toys and running after a ball. He was able to be picked up with no issue to be placed into the car and once inside laid down and was very calm on the ride. He is usually very quiet but likes to bark when playing with other dogs. He has a lot of energy and loves to sniff around while outside (and pee to mark his territory). We went to get a pup cup and then headed to a trail to walk around outside. He met some more friends and played with his toys and ran around. While playing, some other older dogs came by and he was very playful and friendly with them! He was very sweet and affectionate towards people and dogs. Gator is a sweet and curious guy! He’s very loving and friendly with new people. He really seemed to enjoy walks, treats, and exploring. He also did good in the car! He is so sweet! He barked when strangers were walking towards us, but was really friendly when we said hi to some friends. He doesn’t jump. He pulls slightly on the leash when he wants to sniff and mark territory. He is interested and barks at other dogs. He loves trail running and hiking with me; we did about 4 miles with stops along the way. He randomly gets the zoomies and will try sprinting but calms down once he realizes he can’t with the leash. He loves to sit in the front seat and rest his head by you while driving. He is a great running buddy! He is very sweet and curious. He has an adventurous spirit and loves exploring. He was very friendly and good around people. He seems to be good around other dogs as well. My husband and I took Gator on two different Dog Day Out hikes and really enjoyed spending time with him. He is cheerful, affectionate, and loves spending time outdoors. Gator is also the perfect medium size. He is an excellent hiker and likes to mix trotting down the trail with periodic stops to sniff. On one hike it was a hot day and he enjoyed lying in a pond to cool off. He seems a little nervous about unfamiliar dogs and when we passed another dog on the trail he would bark once and then try to go in the opposite direction. He is excellent in the car and spent most of the time lying in the back seat with his head in my lap. We took him home one day and he loved running around in the back yard and chasing sticks. In the house he was calm and respectful and only chewed on his stuffed toys. Gator is an excellent companion and just wants to find a loving family. Gator was a very enjoyable companion for exploring Blue Dog Farm. He loves playing ball and wading in the water. He is friendly and affectionate. Gator pulls some on the leash at the start of a walk but stops after a while and if redirected. He didn’t react at all to the many geese at the farm. Gator is a great dog who would thrive in a loving home Gator is great with people/strangers, including children! He is very sweet, friendly, and energetic! We took him for a long walk on the trails at Blackwood farm; he liked short breaks with drinking water and enjoyed wading/laying down in the bank of the pond to cool off. We also rewarded him with some treats and a pup cup - he loved these! Gator is a well-behaved, sweet boy and would be a great addition to any home! Gator is such a sweet dog! He was super excited for his dog day out and hopped into the car right away. On the car ride he laid down and was the perfect car guest! On our dog day out we walked the pumpkin loop which is about 2.5 miles. Gator did great and had minimal pulling on the leash, he just wanted to smell all the smells! He did tend to bark at bikers and other dogs, but by the end of the walk this was a lot better. Gator also was very easily redirected by verbal cues when passing by any bikers or runners. My favorite thing about Gator was how sweet he was! When our dog day out was over and I brought him back to the shelter he laid down while we were waiting and just wanted all of the pets from everyone around us! Gator was a lot of fun to hang out with! He did great in the car and loves going on walks. He was very energetic and loyal. Super soft and loved taking a nap under a blanket. We went on a couple walks around the neighborhood, had some play time, and took a nice nap. We of course also got him a pup cup. So very sweet. Looks at you with the kindest eyes. Gator is a wonderful boy with a lot of love to give. He slept over with me four nights and only had one accident the first day. He's really good with new people and is quick to respond to kind words and pets. I was sick and in bed for about 18 hours straight and he stayed with me and slept with me a lot of that time. He loves to wrap himself up in the covers on the bed and tends to steal them, which is absolutely adorable. He loves to put his mouth on everything, but is mostly gentle and is pretty easy to redirect if he gets ahold of something he shouldn't have. Gator went to his first day of school at Top Dog day school yesterday. He got some training along with playtime with the other dogs. The staff at Top Dog gave him glowing reviews and said he is super sweet and plays very well with other dogs. He is headed to day school again this week for more training and playing. title=A happy dog.
