Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gilroy is one sweet and very lucky boy. When Gilroy came to the shelter he was a matted mess full of cockle burs and fox tails and skin infections. A very nice groomer took care of his matts (thus the very short hair) and some very sweet vets took several days to remove all of the fox tails. Gilroy is now only recovering from the skin infection which has almost completely gone away.
You would think being neglected like he was, Gilroy would have a lack of trust for humans, but the opposite is the case. Gilroy loves people and love. Though he gets along great with dogs of all sizes, he believes he should now be with people who respect and care for him. He is even good with our cat.
Gilroy was a complete gentleman in the car and sleeps in a crate through the night without a peep. He is even good on lead. He really didn't know what it means to be in a house, and it was rather comical to see him watching television for the first time. He even barked at all the people on the screen.
If you would like to meet and potentially give this boy an amazing home filled with love and attention, please go to the Adoption Process page of our website - throweabonedogrescue.org.
All potential adopters are expected to complete an application and provide pictures of their yard, patio, and/or balcony making sure we can see the fence line and/or railing. The application can be completed and submitted from our website - throwmeabonedogrescue.org - and is found under Resources. Applications will be reviewed for approval before setting an appointment to come meet and possibly adopt the dog of interest. In addition, those who live in a rental property are expected to provide proof that they are allowed to have a dog where they live.
Each of our rescued dogs has been de-wormed if necessary, de-flea'd (with topical treatment if old enough, and by medicated bath if too young), spayed/neutered, microchipped, is up to date on shots, and has been fully examined by a veterinarian. In addition, each adopted dog comes with a starter baggie of the food it has been eating, a few treats for training purposes, a rawhide chew, a lead and collar, and a folder containing pertinent records.
