Story
She completed a basic obedience class in 2022. She knows the commands, but needs consistent follow through that she hasn't received. She is very energetic. She is a very affectionate dog and always wants to cuddle. She will crawl right in your lap for a hug. She was raised with another dog and they have always played well together. She can be food and toy aggressive, but takes correction well from both people and the other dog. She has no history of biting. She prefers to play chase and tug. She's less interested in fetch. She likes kids, but needs to be watched closely with little kids, due to her high energy and playful nature. She can get very excitable when people come to the door and needs correction. She is fearful of loud noises (thunder and fireworks). She has never been around cats. She can be territorial with new people, but warms up within minutes when encouraged by someone she trusts to meet the new person. She sheds throughout the year and has a short single coat.

Story
Thanks to Melissa Carlton State Farm Agent, Gerald's adoption fee is waived! With supporters like Melissa, all dogs have second chances and their futures look bright. Hi! I am Gerald! I have been with my current foster mom and dad for a few months and I ready to find my forever home! I am about 9 years old (even though my foster mom says I don't act 9). I was found roaming the streets by a kind police officer who brought me to Gateway Pet Guardians. Because I am an older boy, I come with many perks that GPG offers to my family like free training sessions! I am very smart and very food motivated. I love to play with treat puzzles, and I have a favorite "licky ball that my foster mom fills with frozen bone broth or goats milk and it's amazing. When the weather is bad, she likes to give me licky mats that she says works my brain even though I can't go outside. I love walks, stuffies, balls and chew bones. I love it when you come home from work. I love it so much that I will greet you with my favorite toy of the day. If I have a very special toy, I will take it outside and bury it. I'm very good at hiding my toys so that only I know where they are. I sleep all night in my crate, but I do like to have a stuffy and my favorite blanket with me. Although I'm more than happy to sleep with you if that makes you feel better! Because I came from the streets, I have some scars on my body and legs, but that doesn't stop me. I get around VERY well, but one thing that happened to me is that I have to wear a belly band because I don't always know when I have to pee. I do sometimes, but not always. I think people feel like this is a bad thing. But it' s no different than babies wearing a diaper. I don't mind them at all. I just need you to keep me clean and change them a few times a day. My foster mom says I come with about 10 of them, so you don't have to do laundry every day....she doesn't like to do laundry that often.

Barleys adoption fee is $0 thanks to a sponsorship from Schlafly Beer. Hello there! My name is Barley, and I'm eagerly waiting to find my forever home and become your furry best friend. I'm a lovable mixed breed dog with a charming personality and a heart full of love to give to my human and canine friends! At just 3 years old, I am bursting with intelligence and enthusiasm. I have a brindle coat with white socks that make me quite the eye-catcher. With my medium/large-sized build, I'm the perfect balance between cuddly and active. I am the perfect mix of playful and loving! I love hiking through nature, playing fetch with my favorite toy, and relaxing on my doggie bed! I know lots of commands and am eager to learn more! I know I will be putting a smile on your face day after day! Can I become a part of your family?
