My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Is there anything better than coming home to a big ol' 70lb goofy dog? I don't think so, my name is Gilbert and I am what they call a derp dog. As you can see from my pictures, not only am I a floppy boy, I am also photogenically handsome. What's not to love?!

In all seriousness, I have been looking for the perfect forever family for a long time, but as they say, all good things come to those who wait. While I've been waiting for my forever home, MAS has been helping me practice training and manners. I love the treats, so it has been a blast! Who doesn't love treats though, lets be honest here; matter-in-fact, I fully support the midnight snack trips we will take together. We can walk it off in the morning anyways....and then snuggle on the couch to watch TV and take a cozy nap; its a win/win....win!

I know what you're thinking: "Gilbert is perfect, he can't get any better" and that is where you would be wrong my friend. You are looking at a genuine party animal right here! A serious happy-go-lucky guy, sure to make every day an adventure together. I love playing outside, swimming in the MAS pond, playing with my human and canine friends, and going for car rides.

Though I try, nobody is perfect. I guess perfect is a fantasy, but I am constantly learning and doing my best to be a better dog than I was yesterday; and to me (and I hope you too) that is perfect. I would do best in a home with older children and adults. Though I have come leaps and bounds (as far as training and progression goes), and I really am trying to be the best dog I can be....but I draw the line with cats.

If you are looking for a happy and handsomely dopey face to greet you at your door, submit your application on the MAS website below!
