Gilbert is a gentle, easygoing companion who's just as happy exploring the world with his nose as he is soaking up a few well earned pets. He’s very low maintenance! This sweet boy is a dream to walk on leash, he’s a big fan of treats, and he always takes them with the gentlest manners. While he may not know any tricks yet, he's mastered the art of leaning into affection - he'll even shift around to help you find that perfect scratch spot, wagging his tail the whole time to let you know he’s having fun.
Gilbert is still gaining confidence and continues to come out of his shell more each day. He's friendly, but not demanding, and has an independent streak that lets him happily entertain himself by sniffing around and taking in his surroundings. With his low to medium energy level, he's content to enjoy life at a relaxed pace.
When it comes to other dogs, Gilbert has shown all the signs of being a wonderful canine companion. He greeted another dog with a constantly wagging tail, politely sniffed to say hello, and happily shared space without any signs of tension or jealousy - even when both dogs were getting attention at the same time.
One thing that really tugs at our hearts? After spending time outside, Gilbert walks extra slowly back toward his kennel, as if he knew the fun was coming to an end. We can't blame him - we'd rather see him heading toward a forever home instead.
