Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Gumby: The Gentle Medium Giant Learning to Bloom
This sweet 4-year-old American Bulldog mix is living proof that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s taking brave steps forward anyway. Gumby spent his early years without much exposure to the big, wide world, so he’s still building his confidence one pawprint at a time. But here’s the beautiful part: once he feels safe with you, his true personality shines through—sweet, curious, and wonderfully fun to be around.
Gumby may need a patient hand when it comes to new situations and loud noises (who doesn’t appreciate a calm, predictable environment?), but the progress he’s made is absolutely remarkable. He’s proven he’s ready to graduate to the next chapter: a loving home where he can continue growing into the confident boy he was always meant to be.
This gentle soul gets along well with other respectful dogs, making him a potential companion for a calm canine friend. Born with a deformed front leg, Gumby doesn’t let it slow him down or dampen his spirit—he’s adapted beautifully and moves through life with grace.
Gumby is looking for someone who sees his potential, not his past. Someone who understands that the best things in life are worth the patience. He’s a good boy who just needs someone to believe in him and give him the chance at the happy home he deserves.
