Gomez's Story

🖤 MEET GOMEZ -- THE DAD WHO COULDN'T PROTECT THEM FROM EVERYTHING 🖤<br/><br/>Gomez didn't come to the shelter alone.<br/><br/>He arrived with his whole family--Mama, three little girls, and one precious baby boy. A family that has already experienced far more of the harsh side of life than any of them ever deserved.<br/><br/>And if Gomez could talk, we imagine he'd have quite a story to tell.<br/><br/>He was Dad. He was supposed to watch over his family. But sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you simply can't protect the ones you love from everything. 💔<br/><br/>His little boy came to us with a badly injured leg--an injury so severe that the leg ultimately had to be removed.<br/><br/>Gomez couldn't fix it.<br/><br/>He couldn't tell his baby that everything was going to be okay.<br/><br/>He couldn't carry him somewhere safe or ask someone for help.<br/><br/>He was just a dog doing the best he could in a life that hadn't given his family many breaks.<br/><br/>Now, for the first time, Gomez doesn't need to worry about being Dad.<br/><br/>It's his turn to be someone's baby. 🥺❤️<br/><br/>We want this handsome boy to discover the softer side of life--the side with warm beds and full food bowls. The side with toys on the floor, treats just because, car rides, belly rubs and someone waiting at the door who is always happy to see him.<br/><br/>We want him to learn that home isn't just a place you survive. Home is where you're safe.<br/><br/>Gomez has already watched his family struggle.<br/><br/>He's already seen enough of the hard stuff.<br/><br/>Now we'd like him to see what love looks like.<br/><br/>Somewhere out there is a couch with his spot on it. A bed he hasn't slept in yet. A person who hasn't met their best friend yet.<br/><br/>And maybe--just maybe--that person is reading this right now. ❤️<br/><br/>🐾 Please share Gomez.<br/><br/>His babies are beginning new chapters of their own, and now Dad deserves his happily-ever-after, too.<br/><br/>Come show Gomez that the rest of his life can be warm, safe, gentle...and filled with all the love he should have had from the beginning. 🏡❤️‍🩹Thank you for taking the time to look at our precious "pound puppies" If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at 730-272-1071.

🖤 MEET GOMEZ -- THE DAD WHO COULDN'T PROTECT THEM FROM EVERYTHING 🖤

Gomez couldn't fix it.

He couldn't tell his baby that everything was going to be okay.

He couldn't carry him somewhere safe or ask someone for help.

He was just a dog doing the best he could in a life that hadn't given his family many breaks.

Now, for the first time, Gomez doesn't need to worry about be
