Sweet gentle amstaff Gavin in danger@NYC kill shelter in Manhattan, New York
A volunteer writes:
Did someone say time for a walk?!! Gavin's signature look is all ears and his signature move is the stand-up-and-lean in embrace of a dog who desperately wants to be loved. He's a bit nervous over his confinement but trying hard to be a brave boy and each day brings more smiles and tail wags than the one before. Easy to leash, seemingly house trained and nicely responsive to my voice, he's also surprisingly gentle for his size and his hugs are never anything but wonderfully soft and sweet. Other than giving and receiving snuggles, Gavin's interests include going for brisk walks and sniffing pretty much everything he sees but his true passion in life lies in only one direction. . .dogs, dogs, DOGS! No one is more excited to meet new four-legged friends than Gavin and no one more disappointed when they walk away again, it seems he just can't get enough of canine company and a home where he'll have plenty of opportunities to play and socialize with like-minded pups would be his idea of heaven on earth. Gavin is going to make a great addition to an active family and he's ready to fly high as a beloved pet once more. Will you be the wind beneath his ears?
