Our sweet Gomer was picked up by a local animal control the day before Christmas Eve 2024. He was very thin but happy to see everyone. Every time someone walked by his kennel he ran to the front hoping that someone was coming for him. He had intestinal parasites, wasn’t neutered, had several masses, had terrible teeth, and was heart worm positive. Most of his issues have been treated. He has finished his heart worm treatment and will have his dental in February 2026. At first he didn’t respond to us when we took him out after pulling him from the shelter. It didn’t take him long to realize that living inside with folks who loved him was a dream come true. He likes to lay around with his buddy Gus and wander and sniff in the yard. We’ve discovered that he is an escape artist if he sees something that interests him. He can open latches on gates and climb a chain link fence. He will need a 6 ft privacy fence and a family who will be very diligent about watching over him. He is a fireplace dog who loves to chill with his other foster sibs and is learning basic cues. We don’t know how he is with cats. He would love a home with people who will love him for the rest of his life, taking him on sniffy walks and include him in family adventures.
If you are that special family who would love this boy forever, please contact Rainbow Rescue at 757-472-1583 or rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.com
