Gomer American Bulldog & Shar-Pei Mix Hastings, MN

WANTED - A family of my very own. Gomer here! I am also affectionately called Gomey, Goober, and Goofball just to name a few. I have been told I have the best personality to go along with my overall handsomeness. If you like having fun, and by fun I mean adventurous walks, unlimited treats, and boundless chew toys...then I want to meet you! Also, do you have a couch? This is what the volunteers & staff want to share about me:

Gomer is EXTRAORDINARY! Why he hasn't found his forever home yet is just unbelievable. Don't let his age fool you Gomer loves life, and he has more energy than other dogs half his age. His list of "loves" is long, but all he really wants is a family to call his own and well...a COUCH and he will be a very happy boy! Gomer loves going on walks, and he will walk in rain or shine. He doesn't know he's a senior and we're not going to tell him. Another of his loves is FOOD. Gomer believes everything should be celebrated with food. During his walks he will sit and wait until he has been "awarded" a treat before continuing on. You guessed it, he hasn't met a treat he doesn't like! On walks he sometimes enjoys eating a little grass or chewing on a stick and if there is snow to taste, well he enjoys eating that too. Another of Gomer's loves is the KIDDIE POOL. Summers are not complete without frequent "swim sessions." He isn't actually "swimming" as much as he is "soaking" but again, we're not going to tell him. And on hot summer days he does love a good soak in whatever water is left that he hasn't lapped up! CHEW TOYS are also on his "why go through life without it list!" Can you guess? Yep, he hasn't met a boring toy yet either! He will sit happily by your side hopefully on a comfy sofa, while getting pet and chewing on whatever toy is close by. Gomer is super fun to walk and a dream on leash. He does well on group walks with other dogs but would do best in a home where he is the only pet. He has lived in a home with older respectful children and was good with them too.

We long for Gomer to spend his remaining years knowing the comforts of a loving home. For his days to be filled with constant companionship and love. Somehow Gomer has figured out that we have been given this one life and he isn't wasting a second of it. So, if you think you have what it takes to foster or adopt a fun-loving active senior... RUN, don't walk to meet Gomer! (Note: Only homes with a couch need apply.)
