Story
Gravy and Giblet are the product of an accidental litter who found their way to Brave after their owner died. Giblet is a well-rounded puppy who loves to be silly and play, and he also loves attention and cuddles. Giblet is a little more sensitive tan his sister, being a little more cautious of new situations and loud sounds. However, he give him some treats and attention and he'll be just fine. He will often fall asleep in our laps after playing with his sister and foster siblings. He is so very sweet! Giblet is doing well in his kennel and only cries when he has to go potty. He is also doing very well with potty training but as a typical young puppy he still has accidents and his forever home will need to continue the training. He loves people, dogs, and cats. He is going to be a very loving dog and has already had multiple social interactions and loves everyone. If you are looking for a cuddle buddy with bright blue eyes, Giblet is your guy!
