Meet Gnocchi – The Underdog Who’s Been Waiting 5 Years for His Someone
Five years ago, Gnocchi’s life was saved just in time—he was hours away from being euthanized at a high-kill shelter. Scared and unsure, he came into our care... and somehow, he’s still here. Not a single application. Not even a question. It’s like the world forgot about him. His foster mom loves him more than anything, but wants more for him.
Now around 8 years old, Gnocchi isn’t flashy. He’s not the life of the party. He’s more of a homebody with an old soul—content with a quiet routine, a soft place to land, and the occasional belly rub. He’s not clingy, but he does enjoy affection in his own time. He knows basic commands like sit, shake, and down, and he’s fully house-trained. He’s also respectful—doesn’t chew things he shouldn’t and doesn’t try to escape a fenced yard.
Gnocchi would thrive in a calm, adult-only home—maybe with a bachelor or a couple who understands the value of a quiet companion. He’s dog-friendly but isn’t looking to make a ton of friends. He walks okay on a leash, but he’s a strong boy at 80lbs, so he’ll need someone who can handle his size.
He doesn’t mind storms or loud noises. He doesn’t need constant attention. He’s okay if you work long hours. He really doesn’t ask for much—just food, love, and a few gentle pets.
Gnocchi is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and has no known medical concerns. He’s just... overlooked. Forgotten. One in a literal million. Waiting for someone to notice the quiet gem he is.
We know his perfect person is out there. It may feel like a needle in a haystack, but Gnocchi deserves to be someone’s one and only. Could it be you?
