Description:
Sweet senior Gilligan needs a family to love him the way he deserves! He was abandoned on the side of the road as so many dogs are in our state. If you're looking for a small, senior dog to love the rest of its life with few needs of his own, Gilligan is the man for you Get to know him directly from his foster below!"Gilligan is such an old man. He finds a nice warm place and hunkers down for hours on end, snoozing away. He sleeps through chaos like a champ, and cuddles up in bed at night. He is more of a free feeder, he does fine with dry dog kibble but he absolutely LOVES to sneak into the cat room and steal their wet food. Anytime we’ve done any additives to their food (wet dog food, gravy, bacon grease, homemade treats, etc.) he really chows down. When the weather is nice, he love love loves to sit out and sun bathe. If allowed, he will sit out on the porch in the sun for hours on end, just a snoozing. He is amazing at taking his meds (standard preventatives) and rarely has accidents. He tends to be a barker when he wants something… like a door opened, to be picked up and put in bed, when he gets himself stuck in a the cat room… He is also an opportunist when it comes to escape. If taken outside without a leash, he stays close and tends to follow just fine. If the gate gets blown open, and he is outside, he will slowly meander is way across the neighborhood, stopping at every porch on the way. He doesn’t run from us (unless, sometimes, when we are trying to get him in the kennel) but he will gladly pretend that he doesn’t hear us if he’s discovered a potential adventure. Overall, Gilligan is a very happy, very easy going guy. He is easily satisfied and loves to cuddle up in front of a cozy fire or under the sheets in bed. He’s very good at flying under the radar in a multi pet home, and is the most well behaved out of all of our babes. He’s the grandpa that just sits on his rocker quietly while all the family plays and socializes around him. He is just as content on his own as he is with others."We know there is a forever family out there that will love this guy the way he deserves!
