Meet Gibbs: The Sweet and Goofy Australian Cattle Dog Mix

​

Gibbs is a lovable 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who was rescued from the Eagle County Animal Shelter as a puppy. Despite his rough start, he has blossomed into an affectionate and loyal companion who thrives on love and attention.

​

Personality: Gibbs is a true cuddle bug! Weighing in at 35 pounds, he believes he's much smaller and prefers to snuggle up on laps, no matter how much space he takes up. His goofy nature and sweet temperament make him a joy to be around, and he’s happiest when he's with his people, especially on long walks. Gibbs is a very intelligent dog who loves to learn and is house-trained, leash-trained, and crate-trained.

 

What Gibbs Needs: While Gibbs is a love bug with people and dogs he’s familiar with, he does have significant anxiety around new faces and can be protective of his people, becoming reactive when scared or startled. He would thrive in ranch setting or in  a calm, stable home with a single person or a couple who can continue working on his training. Ideally, Gibbs should be in a home with a large yard and space to run, without children or other pets. A family who can advocate for him in public and help him manage his anxiety would be the perfect fit.

 

Why Gibbs is Special: He is not only a quick learner but also a loyal friend. His current family is dedicated to helping him find the right home and willing to contribute financially to his continued training to help him thrive and manage his anxiety.

If you’re ready to give this sweet guy the love and understanding he deserves, Gibbs will be forever grateful and loyal!
