Or "Gil-bee" as we affectionately call him here at the shelter. He was brought in by someone who said they "found" him with a 15lbs yorkie. Your guess is as good as ours as far as a breed goes. We have him in as a Sharpei mix ... but he's probably a bully breed of some kind that weighs around 45lbs. When he came in, he had a really bad skin infection. Since then, a lot of his hair has regrown, and he looks much better. Gilbert is a fairly calm guy, he's nice, but tends to be more independent. When we tested him with other dogs, he did okay when he was allowed to check the other dog out, but was giving stress signals when the dogs were allowed to approach him. We don't feel comfortable putting him in a "dog-park" environment, and isn't able to go out in playgroup. Though he didn't come in hot, he actually seemed okay to ignore the other dog on his on-leash test. His new owner will just have to be careful with other dogs running up on him. He'll need a owner that is comfortable with management, and that would maybe consider muzzle conditioning him to work on dog social skills. Again, he doesn't give us the impression that he's actively looking to cause problems. He literally rode in a car here with a little dog. He's just defensive. Be aware, and be cautious, and we feel that he'll do great. He was enrolled in the Puppies for Parole program and did well. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 45 Age: 3yrs 8mths 1wks

More about this shelter
Dogwood Animal Shelter is a non-profit, no-kill shelter.
Since its infancy, compassionate, like-minded volunteers have been the driving force behind Dogwood Animal Shelter. Through auctions and sales, a handful of dedicated people raised enough money to build its first, albeit small facility and was established as a 501(c) 3 in 1976. It was filled beyond capacity almost immediately.
The shelter is funded entirely from donations and proceeds from their Dogwood Animal Shelter Thrift Store.
After years of saving, planning and busting at the seams with fur-babies, in 2005 it was time to build a new facility with their own in-house clinic! Under the direction of Dr. John Reinhold and coupled with a very dedicated and gifted team of Veterinarians and staff, Dogwood Animal Shelter continues to offer low cost spays and neuters to the public as well as services to their shelter buddies; services to approximately 2,000 dogs and cats yearly!
Dogwood Animal Shelter began their journey of being a successful no-kill shelter in 1997, and since then has saved over 40,000 lives!
