With special needs

Gabriel is a 10-year-old male, who spent his entire life in a puppy mill, where he was used and abused – until he came to PugHearts.

Not only was he deaf, but he also suffered from a fractured mandible and dental disease.

Nevertheless, he has no difficulty eating.

When he first came to PugHearts in November, he was absolutely terrified of humans.

Now, he LOVES to be petted and hugged.

He’s a Big Old Boy, but not fat, weighing around 27 pounds.

We lovingly call him BOB!!

Since he can’t hear, the name change doesn’t bother him.

He has learned to respond to hand signals and no longer jumps when approached/touched from behind.

He fit right in with the other animals in the household, including the cat.

He’s very good with children and enjoys meeting new people and animals.

He’s a very young 10 and is quite active and adorably vocal.

Walks a little wonky in the grass but is getting used to it.

Still working on potty training and he wears a belly band when inside.

Gabriel’s transformation has been unbelievable.

He is very affectionate and deserves to spend the next 10 years in a home where he will be loved.
