My story

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

Current Location: Frederick, MD

Gambet is a great big, tender, and kind gentleman with a soft heart and soulful eyes. From the moment he arrived, he began looking to his people for guidance, quietly asking for reassurance and comfort. He is gentle, thoughtful, and deeply affectionate.

As he settles in, Gambet has shown just how trusting he is. His ears were dirty when he arrived, and he calmly let them be cleaned. He even allowed a nail trim on each front paw without fuss. He loves being brushed, enjoys hands-on care, and happily leans in for pets. He sheds quite a bit, but grooming time is something he seems to find soothing and bonding.

Gambet potties outside and slept well through the night. He whined a little at first, then settled and rested peacefully. He did not eat until the next morning, likely still decompressing and wondering where his old family went, but once comfortable, he ate and relaxed. He still whines softly from time to time, which feels less like anxiety and more like a gentle check-in with the world around him.

He knows basic commands like sit and paw and is eager to please. He has already started giving sweet kisses and shows how much he enjoys human connection. Right now, you will often find him resting quietly, soaking up affection, and slowly learning that he is safe.

Gambet is a very good boy with a huge heart. He will thrive with someone patient and kind who understands that sensitive souls need reassurance as they begin again. In return, Gambet will offer loyalty, affection, and steady companionship.

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.
