My name is Gilbert!

Gilbert is a great companion and pet. He is a rescue who came from an abusive home. Because of this, he is slightly reactive. He needs time to warm up to people and doesn't like strangers touching him.

Once he warms up though after a few days, he is the most friendly, loyal, and cute pet. He loves spending time outside - walks are his favorite - and enjoys chewing on bones and treats.

Small kids present a threat to Gilbert, until he's fully warmed up. The sudden movement of children can cause him to be guarded and reactive. A good trainer and a patient owner can manage his triggers well.

Ideally I'd love to see him in a home that will be attentive to his needs with plenty of time for walks.

Gilbert is 10 years old and is about 18 pounds. His adoption will come with plenty of food, crate, extra bed, multiple leashes and harnesses, shampoo, and cleaners.
