Gabriel
Daytona
What can be said about sweet Gabriel? A lot! If you haven’t heard his story, it’s a heartbreaker.
Gabriel came to rescue in a state of neglect, but with time, healing and some love, his true spirit is shining through. Things to know about this adorable senior boy:
He acclimates to new situations easily and learns routines quickly. Since Gabriel is hard of hearing, hand signals are used for commands. He knows ‘Come’ and ‘Stay’. He is housebroken and walks to the door when he needs to go out.
You’ll have a shadow. Gabriel loves his humans. He even enjoys watching his meals being prepared, but even more than that, he loves to eat them. No leftovers for this boy.
Though Gabriel suffers from osteoarthritis and is on medication to improve joint health, he enjoys short walks a couple of times a day. Ongoing rehab therapy is helping ease his discomfort. He sleeps in a soft bed near his humans. He likes car rides from the safety of a crate.
Heart issues are also on Gabriel’s list of things to address on his road to a better life. The good news is he is responding well to treatments. He is so much happier and healthier now. However, regular cardiologist checkups will be required.
Ruby-coated (with a touch of grey) Gabriel is good with other dogs and cats, but he has not been around children.
🐶 Age: 10 years young
👍🏻 Weight: Currently 20 lbs. Needs to gain a pound or two.
🐾 Circumstances: Owner surrender
❤️ Health: As mentioned, Gabriel arrived in very rough shape, enduring neglect for quite some time. His eye and skin conditions are under control. Though there is still much to be done, he is improving each day. Assuming is cleared by a board certified veterinary cardiologist, Gabriel will have a dental procedure in the near future.
