Gumbo

My story

What is warm, comforting, and just what you need to come home to after a long day? A big bowl of gumbo! Meet Gumbo, the sweetest boy you`ll ever meet!This easygoing pup loves walks (and walks loose leash!), toys, and gentle pets. He`s a pro at tug-of-war and fetch. If you`re not playing, he`ll gently nudge your hand to remind you that game-time is still on! Gumbo`s a lower-energy pup who`s happy to relax or play. When you walk him, Gumbo adoringly looks at you like you hung the moon in the sky and makes you feel so special.Gumbo came into our care as a stray with an open neck wound crawling with maggots -- the result of a severely embedded collar. Our veterinary team said `Even with extensive infection of his wounds and the extreme pain he must have been in, Gumbo smiled and wagged his tail and wanted to give affection and get love.` The only tell-tale sign of the cruelty and neglect that Gumbo suffered is the physical scar on his neck, as we have not met a sweeter soul.Gumbo is affectionate and is happy to hang out by your side or crawl into your lap. Gumbo is great in the bath and loves car rides (especially if he can stick his head out the window, close his eyes, and sniff the wind). He`s the perfect companion for anyone looking for a chill and loyal friend. With what an amazing, trusting, gentle dog he is even after what he went through, Gumbo truly deserves the most loving home. Will you be Gumbo`s happy forever home?
