Meet Gravy

Meet Gravy! Your big, gentle, slightly goofy best friend. ❤️At 8 years old and 80 pounds, Gravy is a gentle soul with a big body, an easygoing personality, and the wiggliest welcome-home routine you’ve ever seen! He loves short walks, car rides, treats, tug toys, puzzle games, and, of course, couch naps with his favorite humans. Gravy is house-trained, knows sit, paw, and lay down, and walks beautifully on a loose leash—until he spots another dog and gets a little too excited about saying hello. He’s friendly with people, does well with kids, and has shared his home with another dog. Cats are an unknown. Gravy has some special needs, including limited hearing, allergies, recurring ear infections, and arthritis. He takes medication for his allergies and joint support, but his stiff hips and knees don’t stop him from enjoying life. He’s also made wonderful progress with separation anxiety, though he’d still love a home where someone is around much of the day. He isn’t comfortable being fully confined in a crate, so he does best with a safe, designated area when left alone. Gravy may not be the most polished gentleman on the block, but he makes up for it with his sweet nature, curious spirit, and full-body wiggles when his people come home. He’s looking for a loving home that will be patient with his needs, help him continue learning, and appreciate the joy of having a big, lovable couch buddy. Could Gravy be your new best friend?
