Meet 2404-0053 Gabe (Off Site Foster)

GABE is an 8+ year old boy who was found stray. These older ones seem to bear a little harder on your heartstrings. He weighs about 26+ pounds. He is a smaller boy, easy to handle, but nervous with everything going on around him. He moves slow, gingerly as he walks along beside you. He will need some time getting accustomed to new surroundings. Please go slow. There is no need to rush anything. Let him proceed at his own pace as older dogs sometimes need a little extra. We have noted he might be deaf as well. If you have a thing for older dogs, please come out to VBACAC to meet him!    VBACAC  341 S Birdneck Road , VB Open daily  12-5 pm .
