gumbo (hound)

PLEASE NOTE: This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to Massachusetts shortly with no additional travel costs. Roughly 90% of our dogs are adopted prior to their transport up to MA and 10% are adopted locally.Meet Gumbo! Gumbo is approximately 8 months, 20-ish lbs at the moment, and he may have some Hound in his mix. Gumbo was found as a stray with his sister Indie, and both were taken into rescue. In his foster home, Gumbo is working hard on his house training, is comfortable being crated and has had limited experience with leash walking. He is a flight risk and needs a secure, fenced yard in his forever home. He could join households with teenagers, possibly dog-savvy cats (will chase) and would benefit from a confident dog in the home. No apartments, please!His foster says, `Gumbo is such a sweet, loving little hound. He is the perfect size to snuggle up on the couch for the long winter to come. After enjoying the quiet comfort of the family room, Gumbo tried the move upstairs to join daycare. It was a bit more lively than he was used to. He was a little too timid for large groups of dogs. He does best with a bestie or 2. Gumbo can be a flight risk. He needs leash work too. His potty training is going very well. He likes his bedding and surroundings clean and tidy. `He is available for adoption in N Dartmouth in 12/14 or possibly earlier.
