My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gordy is a sweet, loving companion in need of a home with someone/people who love him. He loves to play with other doggies, stuffed animals and hard chew toys. He is fully house trained, he does not chew on anything besides his toys and he is very low maintenance. He is 7 years old and currently 80 lbs but he’s on a diet with the goal of loosing another 10 lbs. He would do great in a home with laid back environment, preferably no cats as he is hyper-fixated on them. Gordy does great with other dogs, however preferably not a home with a high energy puppy since they tend to jump on him and though he tries, he is unable to keep up with them. He loves to go outside just as much as he loves to take long naps on his comfy bed and heated blanket! He is very kid friendly, he loves back and belly scratches, putting his head out of the window on car rides, beef and chicken jerky dog treats along with lots of love!!

At Shelters and Shelves, we firmly believe that all dogs deserve a second chance at finding their happily ever after. The dogs we rescue have all been marked as “urgent”, placing them at highest risk should the shelter reach kennel capacity. There is nothing inherently wrong with any of them; most are simply passed over based on scant first impressions or appearance. Some are medical cases that need time and space to recover outside of the stressful shelter environment. Others have a harder time finding families due to specific needs in a new home. All of them, however, have the perfect home somewhere out there waiting for them; they just need a little more time (and a little extra help) to find it. We make sure their story doesn't end at the shelter.
