Dog tolerant

How handsome is sweet Lobster! You will be pinching yourself when you meet him as he is such a beautiful soul. He has a big personality, big body and big heart that you will think has "Exploded" all over you when you meet him. Lobster has been with GAP for a couple months learning lots of things about how to be his best self and is now ready to take his skills out into the real world. We think he will do best in a home that has a friendly dog companion medium or larger to do life with as long as they are respectful when he needs his down time or when he is enjoying his food. A household that is understanding of his little quirks and will continue to work with his skill building would be his perfect home. He may suit children that are 15 and over.

Meet the lovely Cejudo. If he looks a little worried in his profile picture, well that is because he is! Cejudo is a young boy, with a lot to learn about pet life, he will require a special home that can help him continue to build his confidence and to understand that he will take some time to bond with his chosen family.

Cejudo has been to foster at a prison, through our Pet Partnership Prison Program, where he has had some more experience outside of kennels. Cejudo will require a quiet home with no children and will not suit living in a busy inner-city apartment. Cejudo has been diagnosed with anxiety, and will go to a new home with anxiety medication.

Reindeer

5 years old

Child tolerant

She may not be leading Santa’s sleigh like Rudolf but this quiet achiever is still just as important! She is a shy girl that we think will come out of her shell in a home that understands she just needs time to learn how to be a pet and patience to go at her pace. A quieter home with children 15 and over that are respectful of her boundaries maybe ok and somewhere with a nice yard that she can go and relax in. She may also benefit from a male friend that is medium or larger to help her transition into pet life. This lovely dog is not suitable for a home with cats.
