Gavin passed away peacefully at home with his foster mom by his side.
He will be missed by all who were lucky enough to meet him. Thank you
to his foster mom for providing wonderful care and a loving home for this
sweet and gentle boy.

Gavin is doing excellent in
his foster home. He recently visited the cardiologist, where he was
diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Gavin has started medication for
this and is responding well. Now that he is on medication, Gavin is getting
a little more exercise. He loves to go on short walks and is great in
the car. Gavin adjusts quickly to new things and is great with both male &
female dogs. He is also fine with my cats. Gavin barks very little, but he
can sure snore pretty loudly! Gavin tolerates the crate fine, but he
doesn't need to be crated too often.
Gavin loves to be a part of the action and does not want to miss a thing.
He will sit on his hind legs for 15 minutes at a time while just being
petted & loved on. He is the most easy going boy and just goes with the
flow. Gavin would do best in a home that doesn't have a lot of steps due to
his vision. He has the best personality and is just a giant
teddy bear. Gavin has been around children ages 2-12 and he is wonderful
with them. He would make a great addition to just about any family that is
willing to love him.

Gavin has seen the
ophthalmologist. The good news is that Gavin is not completely blind. He
does have some vision in his left eye. The inflammation and infection that
most likely caused him to go blind was untreated years ago and is no longer
causing problems. No medications are required and there is no surgery to
correct his vision loss. Gavin does not consider this to be a disability at
all - he is very well adjusted.
Gavin was a hit yesterday at the vet's office - everybody had lots of
great things to say about him. He got many compliments on how handsome and
well behaved he was. Gavin is going to be a wonderful boy for a lucky
family. Apply today if you are interested in providing a forever home
for Gavin!

Gavin is settling in well at
his foster home. He is getting along great with his foster sister, a female
boxer. He is a huge lover and very affectionate. Gavin's appetite is as big
as his heart. This sweet boy will sit for hours just to have your hand on
him. He would do well in any type of household. We will be scheduling an
appointment soon with an ophthalmologist to check his eyes, and will post an
update after his visit.

Gavin has been transported to
our vet's office, where he will be neutered and brought up to date on all
vet care. It appears as though he is losing his vision, so we will be having
his eyes checked by an ophthalmologist once he settles into his foster home.
The temporary foster home that kept Gavin prior to his transport
indicated that he is just the sweetest boy! Gavin did well with the cats and
the other dogs in her home. He loves to give his paw when you ask him to
sit. Gavin just soaks up any attention that he is given.
Gavin will be going to his new foster home soon and we will post an
update and new pictures once we learn more about him!

Gavin was found as a stray. The shelter indicated that he was picked up
in the same area where Beryl and Carla were found a few weeks earlier. We
suspect there may be a puppy mill or backyard breeder in this area. Gavin is
estimated to be around 7 years old. He will be neutered soon and brought up
to date on all vet care. Gavin is an adorable boy with a great boxer face!
He has done really well with all the other dogs he has met at the shelter.
Gavin is in need of a foster home. Apply today to foster or adopt this cute
boy!
