Gary

Gary is a very sweet senior gentleman who is very misunderstood and is searching for a patient and loving retirement home who will give him the environment he needs to thrive.

He is a very cute little man, and loves the attention of humans that he knows and trusts!

He may be 10 years old, but he certainly doesn’t act like a senior! He loves his walks and is still very active, so he will need a family who can keep up with him.

He needs an adult only home, as children make him feel nervous – he would be best suited to a home with retired people who had plenty of quality time to spend with him.

Gary does not like other dogs, he would much prefer to be the centre of attention! SO he needs a home where he is your one and only pet.

To put it plainly – Gary can find it difficult to trust new people, and as a little dog whose boundaries have likely been repeatedly crossed through his life, he occasionally resorts to snapping at people who don’t give him the time and space he needs when he is feeling overwhelmed. His behaviour has been previously describes as “unpredictable”

Although we have not seen any of this behaviour in the shelter, his previous owners told us that he became quite stressed when strangers entered the house – so he is looking for a family who will be very patient with him and make any accommodations necessary to keep him feeling safe and calm when he is meeting new people/when strangers are invading his territory.
