Gump - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Middletown, New York

Gump was incredibly fearful of new people, sounds, and environments when he first arrived at Pets Alive, and his instinct to run away from them always used to win. Thanks to our Kennel Staff and Dog Walking Volunteers' dedication, Gump is armed with more confidence today than we ever thought possible. These days, Gump goes for long strolls in the woods and gives gentle kisses to the friends he knows well. His circle of trust is small, but he gets braver every single week.

We'll be honest: Gump isn't the right fit for every household. He's a quiet guy who would do best as the only pet. Gump isn't looking for a large family to fold into and would do best as the only pet in a mellow household as he transitions to the good life!

If you have the patience and extra love and are interested in Gump please fill out an application with Pets Alive in Middletown NY to schedule an appointment to come meet him!

These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments.
