My story

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

Location: Ashburn
Gavin is a 2 yr old shepherd mix who weighs 63 pounds. He has soulful eyes, bold eyebrows, and a goofy grin. He is equal parts gentle teddy bear and playful sidekick. He prefers to stay close to his people and he forms strong bonds. He feels uneasy when left alone, so a home with another dog and someone around often will help him feel secure.

Energy and Personality
Gavin is sweet and loyal. He follows his people from room to room. He takes a little time with new people or young kids. Once he settles, he shows his warm and easy spirit. He brings a steady joy to the house.

Training and Behavior
Gavin is house trained. He walks well on a leash. He enjoys long walks and outdoor time.
He responds to structure, praise, and a clear routine.
He gives a polite alert if someone approaches the home, then returns to calm once he knows all is well.

Social Life
Gavin loves other dogs. He enjoys play, wrestling, and sharing toys.
A confident dog in the home will help him relax and grow his confidence.

Quirks and Special Traits
• Loyal shadow
• Soft heart
• Expressive face
• Loves to stay close
• Wants a job and loves simple tasks

Best Home Fit
• Calm home
• Adults or older teens
• Someone who understands sensitive dogs
• Another friendly dog
• A person who is home often

Gavin will give you devotion, laughter, and love every single day. He wants to be your steady friend and loyal partner.

Veterinary Care
Gavin has visited the veterinarian for a health certificate. He is up to date on vaccinations for his age, microchipped, neutered, and on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. He has received worm and parasite treatments.

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
