Gary, who is approximately 8 years old, came to GGBR in October from the Peninsula Humane Society, where he had been left by his owner.  His foster parents have this to say about Gary:  "Gary has ears like Dumbo and soulful eyes. He is easy to please, and as long as he is next to his human, life is good. He likes to stay inside sleeping at your feet if you need to work on the computer, he likes to sit next to you in the car if you need to drive somewhere, he likes to go for a walk (he walks nicely on leash) if you want to go for a walk, etc. Gary greets visitors to the home in a friendly, happy manner.  He is easy to feed and would eat anything, healthy or not, meat, vegetables, anything...Gary has a strong personality and needs a home with no other dogs, or very submissive ones because he wants his human all for himself. For a person who would like to face life with a faithful, low maintenance canine companion who demands little and gives a lot, Gary would be the ideal dog." 

Gary is neutered, up to date on all his immunizations, heartworm negative, housebroken, walks well on leash, and is ok with dog-savvy cats. It is unknown how Gary would be were he to live with young children. 

Gary needs a house with few stairs if possible.  X-rays were taken of his back, the results of which showed that he most likely was experiencing some pain from  disc disease. He was prescribed an anti-inflammatory and is much more comfortable now.

If you have a home without major stairs, with no other dogs, and you want a happy, attentive, handsome boy basset,  Gary is your guy!
