If you`re looking for a sweet older gentleman with impeccable manners, a love of snackos, and killer puppy face, look no further than Gumbo!He may be 12 years old, but he`s got plenty of pep and lots of love to give. He enjoys a leisurely stroll to take in all the new smells, and if you stop by some grass he`ll entertain you with a couple rolls and leg kicks (which is Gumbo for `please rub my belly!`). He has recieved a thorough vetting with AARF and he is as healthy as can be! Since he has had skin issues, we are recommending a neutral protein diet - fish, lamb, or turkey - but he`s not picky, he loves all food! The only med he`ll need to take in his forever home are once a day joint supplements, which he takes like a champ with peanut butter. He loooves peanut butter!He is being fostered in a home with cats who enjoy snuggling with him on the couch, and stealing his food. Gumbo couldn`t care less! He`s met dogs of varying energy levels and responds with the same low-key tail wags and sniffs to each of them. He loves walking into a room of people and greeting each person one by one to test out their booty scritching skills, and seems particularly drawn to kids. Even though he`s an older pup, we think he`d be happy in a family or with another doggo, so he can choose to participate or nap on the couch - whichever mood he`s in. He loves a work from home person so that he can nap by your feet (ahem, monitor your work productivity). He is fully house trained and goes easily into his crate with a treat, but is also a very respectful boy who chooses naps over chaos when left alone.Gumbo also loves car rides! Like, loves car rides. He`s a perfect backseat passenger who loves to poke his snout out the window and feel the wind in his fur. We aren`t sure what his first 12 years were like, and at least the most recent years were tough on the poor guy, but he`s proven that he`s got a zest and love for the softer, sweeter life. Will that be with you?If you’d like to take Gumbo home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application.
