Story
Get ready to meet Gambino, a handsome dog with a heart of gold who is just waiting to become your devoted co-pilot in life! This middle-aged gentleman is proof that second chances are beautiful. Gambino has had a rough start, enduring a life chained up outside and then spending several months in a shelter kennel after his rescue. Thankfully, he has been safe in a foster home for the last few weeks, decompressing and learning what it means to be a cherished pet. Now, all he needs is a patient, loving person who can help his past trauma become a distant memory.
Gambino is a truly dedicated lover boy, and his favorite place in the world is right by your side. He’s incredibly clingy because he views his person as the most important thing in the world, making him a naturally protective companion. He has a history of making friends easily with women and is simply looking for a confident, patient handler who can help him feel secure and show him the world is safe. He’s food and praise motivated, knows his basic commands, and he loves all the scratches, especially on his neck! He’s also a big fan of toys and chews—rope toys, squeakers, balls, chew bones, you name it, he likes it!
Gambino is the total package when it comes to house manners. He is perfectly potty-trained and a star student in his kennel, heading to his crate easily with just a little help from a tasty frozen Kong. He’s a dream on the leash and responds perfectly to "sit" and "no." He would probably prefer a secure fenced-in yard where he can relax and enjoy his time outdoors, without the restriction of a leash. This guy thrives on routine and clear boundaries. Due to his history as a watchdog, he would likely thrive as the solo pet in the home. He's working hard on being a little more gentle with accepting treats (he still gets a little chomp-happy!) but shows great improvement with every new skill he learns.
Gambino's ideal home is one where his person is ready for a shadow and a snuggle machine! He is a sweetheart who is just beginning to learn how wonderful life can be. If you're looking for a devoted, cuddly, and house-trained best friend who will make you feel loved and appreciated every single day, look no further than the charming Gambino!
