Gumbo is a 1-year-old Labrador mix who was found as a stray in O’Fallon on 5/21/25. This happy, outgoing boy was adopted in July and recently returned due to his adopter’s work schedule changing to longer hours. Through it all, Gumbo has remained the same affectionate, people-loving goofball who just wants to be part of someone’s life.
Gumbo is friendly, social, and thrives on human interaction. He’s very people-oriented and loves attention—especially booty rubs! He enjoys brushing and bathing, does well at the dog park, and has lived around other dogs. He’s also crate trained and potty trained, making him a great candidate for an easy transition into a home.
In the shelter, Gumbo can get anxious in his kennel and overstimulated during loud or chaotic moments, like storms. Once he’s out and able to engage, his energy is upbeat, joyful, and full of personality. He’s much happier when he has structure, movement, and a person to focus on.
Gumbo can be very enthusiastic when meeting other dogs and may come on a bit strong. He tends to rush in with excitement and doesn’t always read social cues right away. Because of this, he would do best with a confident, tolerant dog who can match his energy and help him learn appropriate play and communication skills.
Gumbo is still young and learning, but with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, he will be an incredibly loyal, loving, and entertaining companion. If you’re looking for a fun-loving dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Gumbo may be your perfect match.
