10/22/12: Gabriel
is adopted!!!!
08/08/12: Gabriel Is
Truly An Angel
Gabriel had to fend
for himself after the
people he lived with
since he was a puppy
moved and left him
behind. A neighbor found
Gabriel and brought him
to a shelter on June 7
where he stayed until we
heard about him. The
plea for help from the
Shelter was forwarded
far and wide but we were
the only organization
that responded.
The shelter described
Gabriel as very confused
and scared, but
obviously very sweet.
His owner just abandoned
him after 8 years and
left him alone outside.
When we heard his story
we were compelled to do
something to make
Gabriel’s life better.
He was taken to the vet
for an exam and to be
neutered etc. directly
from the Shelter
(thankfully he was
heartworm negative), and
we made arrangements
with a transport service
for Gabriel to be taken
to one of our foster
homes ASAP.
We
counted the hours
waiting for Gabriel’s
arrival…we were all
anxious for him to start
a new better life where
he would no longer be
hungry or scared. He was
a perfect passenger on
his long journey but
Gabriel was happy to
finally be in a home
with people lavishing
him with attentive
affection.
Below
is a report from
Gabriel’s foster mom:
“This angel is
amazing. Gabriel is
gentle, loving, a good
walker, and just
wonderful. My kitties
are still a little
afraid but I keep them
behind a kiddie gate so
they feel safe. Gabriel
is curious about them
but nothing else. I am
sure they will
eventually get used to
each other. One of the
first things I did was
to get him bathed. He
had a funny odor at
first but that was a
quick fix.
Gabriel was thin when he
arrived but he has since
gained a few pounds. He
loves his meals (not to
mention his yum yums)
and is eating well (and
getting spoiled). He is
always very hungry. He
loves getting special
additions to his
breakfast and dinner,
especially eggs. When I
make his meals he
patiently lies on the
floor in the kitchen and
watches me. He got his
"first" bone which I
think he really enjoyed.
He looks great and his
bowels are normal now.
Gabriel follows me
where ever I go. He
really is a Momma's boy
but he loves everyone.
He truly is a very
special guy. I often lay
next to him telling him
he will never be hungry
or unloved again. Then
he looks at me with
those eyes. He just
loves being where ever I
am. He also loves
sleeping on the sofa. He
found a toy which he
loves and has started to
play. He enjoys being
loved on and appreciates
a good snuggle (and I
love snuggling him).
Gabriel looks
forward to his walks. We
take our first walk at
5:30 a.m. and then lie
back down and take
another nice walk before
I leave for work. He
lies in the hallway
every morning as I get
done in the shower and
watches me get dressed
for work. He then knows
his second morning walk
is coming.
Gabriel is doing
wonderfully. He is
beginning to show his
personality more. He
still does not make a
sound, but you can
always tell he is a
happy boy. At night when
I am watching TV with
him for a little bit he
likes wiggling on his
back and being silly. I
blow belly berries and
he wiggles some more.
You can be assured he is
being well taken care of
and well loved.
I
keep telling him we will
both be going to the
shore for a little
vacation soon. I know he
is going to be a good
little traveler and have
a good time. Especially
since Mommom and Poppop
are going with us. He
will surely be spoiled
and living large. I
cannot wait to see how
Gabriel reacts to the
ocean. Not to mention
all the new sights,
sounds and smells. I am
sure he will be a good
boy.
Gabriel just
wants to be loved. I
still cannot believe
that someone would just
disregard him. I have
not seen one thing bad
about him whatsoever. He
is no trouble at all.
Gabriel is an angel.”
