gary

Gary is a 19-pound, 2-year-old terrier mix who has overcome a tough start in life. Found as a stray and brought to animal control, Gary is now safe with our rescue and ready to find a home that understands his needs.
Gary is a sweet, sensitive dog who wants to trust, but he needs time and patience to feel secure. He warms up slowly and responds best to calm, gentle handling and high-value treats. Once he feels comfortable, Gary shows his affectionate side—he’ll happily curl up in your lap and enjoy quiet companionship.

What Gary Needs:

- Slow Introductions: Gary can be nervous with new people and situations. He requires a gradual approach to leashing and handling.
- Adult-Only Home: A calm environment without young children will help Gary feel safe and build confidence.
- Positive Reinforcement: Treats and encouragement go a long way in helping Gary learn leash skills and trust.
- Patient, Loving Family: Someone who understands that Gary has been through a lot and is willing to give him the time he needs to adjust.

Gary is social with people once he feels secure and has shown interest in other dogs, though introductions should be managed carefully. He’s playful in short bursts and enjoys toys, but his favorite thing is feeling safe and loved.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion and are ready to give Gary the understanding and patience he deserves, he could be the perfect match for you.

He will come neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and 4dx tested.

He would need to meet any resident dogs.
