Meet Gumbo - a 9-month-old Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and a playful spirit! While he's still a young, energetic pup, Gumbo is surprisingly well-mannered for his age. He sits patiently for treats, isn't overly jumpy, and loves to please - making him such a joy to be around. Gumbo can be a little unsure around some men, so slow, patient introductions will help him feel safe and build trust. Once he knows he's in good hands, he warms up beautifully. He walks nicely on a leash and would make a wonderful adventure buddy for hikes or strolls around the neighborhood. Gumbo has met other dogs and tends to be a little forward in his play style, so a canine companion who's tolerant and playful would be a good fit. This sweet, affectionate boy is ready to find a family to call his own. Could Gumbo be the perfect match you've been looking for?
