Gavin is a fun mix of playfulness and snuggles. He likes to run around the yard playing with toys, but then he will come inside and crash on the couch with you and maybe want to cuddle, or he might just take a nap. He really likes naps. 

Gavin is great with other dogs, but what he really wants is to be around people. All. The. Time. Even if it’s just hanging out watching TV, he wants to be by your side. If you leave him alone, he might whine, or he will look for things to keep himself busy, and he’s not always sure which items belong to him. He has been known to poke his head into bags and boxes or jump up on counters, and help himself to whatever strikes his fancy, so supervision and guidance are definitely needed. 

This silly boy always has his foster family laughing. When Gavin gets excited, he will run around, and once he jumped over the back of the 3’ high couch without even thinking about it. He can entertain himself by throwing toys around with his mouth, and then jumping after them, which then makes him so excited that he just wants to run around doing laps around the house or yard. 

Gavin is great when riding in a car. He needs some assistance getting onto the seat, but he settles in nicely and will take a nap if there is time. He doesn’t appreciate bumps, and will sit up and let you know of his dissatisfaction. It’s a good thing he can’t provide a review of his driver. 

Gavin’s easygoing disposition makes him a fit for just about any family. He loves being involved with what his people are doing, and he’s looking for a forever home that is willing to let him join in on their fun.
