Backstory:
Gumby was found at large in a neighborhood. No owner came forward. He’s very smart and obedient and knows some commands. He’s a fast learner. Because of his breed he is medium/high energy outside but also a loving couch potato. He enjoys his toys and bones and seems to love water. He is a very loyal, attentive boy who absolutely loves people and giving affection. He never meets a stranger he doesn’t love.
