Gaston

My story

A28639 Gaston is a black colored, approximately 2-year-old, 53-pound, neutered male, Australian Kelpie mix. He entered the shelter as an owner surrender on 06-14-2025 due to the fact they felt his energy needed a bigger yard to play in. Saying he probably needs a new owner that understands the breed. Gaston is a friendly, calm and easy to handle boy here at the shelter. He is patiently waiting for you at the kennel door, ready to go out for a walk. Our staff describes him as a sweet, gentle soul who warms up to new people quickly. He loves meeting new people and getting all the love and attention they will give. He is well mannered and does not jump up on anyone. He was easy to leash and eager to go for a walk. He was well behaved during our walks with no pulling, just a nice little pep in his step. He will need some training as he did not really respond to any commands. Staff got him to “sit” once after repeated commands. However, they say he is not naughty and is a well-mannered boy. He shows a friendly interest in other dogs here at the shelter, with a happy tail wag. Not reactive to the dogs walking by or the ones barking at him. The previous owner says he is house broken and has lived with other dogs and cats, but not children. They did say he became the protector and was stand offish to new people in their home. Gaston will be a fun-loving family member in his new forever home.
