Gravy ACCT-A-178500 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Gravy must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by Tuesday, November 5th at 10 A.M. Should Gravy's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.
Meet Gravy, a charming and affectionate 8-month-old pup who's been waiting for his forever home since he was abandoned outside the shelter on 10/16. Friendly and social, he's a people-lover who greets everyone with wags and wiggles, often trying to climb into laps for some extra love.
Gravy is playful and engaging, happy to lean in for pets and take treats gently (though he can get a little jumpy when he's excited). While he's done well meeting other dogs one-on-one, he can get overstimulated around multiple dogs in the kennel environment. An adult-only home where he can soak up all the attention would be the perfect fit for this sweet, lively boy. Available for both rescue and adoption, Gravy is ready to brighten your days with his big-hearted personality!

Behavior Notes:
Per volunteer 10/17/24: Meet Gravy! This fella is a social, friendly pup who loves being around people. He greets everyone with happy tail wags and will quickly declare himself your best friend -he's been known to try and climb into your lap for extra cuddles if you'll allow!
While he takes treats gently, Gravy can get a little excited at times and may get snatchy, it's all part of his playful personality. He loves to play making him a great fun-loving pup-panion. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate dog to brighten your days, Gravy is ready to be your best friend!
Per staff 10/17/24: When returning to kennel, Gravy saw many dogs in passing and became a little reactive. He started growling and snarling at other dogs and tried to fence fight with anther dog. I pulled him back away from the kennels and he snapped towards me. I put him back in the kennel and brought him back out later on for a dog meet as I assumed it was dog reactivity. He did great for his dog meets, gate greeting and face to face and showed no reactivity. When returning the second time he went right in and it was more quiet in kennel.
