My story

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

🐾💔 Meet Gavin – A Little Dog with a Lot to Overcome 💔🐾

Gavin is a 2-year-old neutered male Maltese mix who found himself in county care when his owner went to jail. At just 13 pounds, Gavin is a small dog facing a big, scary world right now.

✨ About Gavin:

Life turned upside down for Gavin, and he is currently very worried about people and his surroundings. Sadly, he was overlooked by other local shelters due to his fear and discomfort.

But here at our rescue, we believe in Gavin. With time, patience, and gentle rehabilitation, we know he can become a loving and loyal companion. Right now, he is learning to feel safe again and to trust the people around him.

✅ He is:

• Neutered

• Current on vaccinations

• Microchipped

• In need of a quiet, understanding home when ready

🌟 Gavin’s future is bright – he just needs someone to help him find it.

If you have a heart for shy, fearful dogs and believe in giving second chances, Gavin may be the one for you when he’s ready for adoption. For now, he is continuing his journey to trust and heal with us.
