Gabe's Plea – Waiting For The One To Love

My name is Gabe. I am a young, dashing Mastiff bulldog with a tragic story of physical injury and emotional abandonment. Maybe you read my story below. If not, click here and find out everything about the bad cards life dealt me.


May I please share an excerpt from my medical notes with you? I love to read medical notes. They make me feel important.

Mine read: “. . . 5 year old neutered, abandoned by owner at emergency clinic. He was hit by car. Very active and can walk but is weak in the hind legs has a pelvic fractures that will heal well with strict cage rest . . .”


Well, luckily I am beyond cage rest. In fact, I am doing quite well. I love to run, to explore, to go on walks, to play in the cool green grass. But most of all I love to be with people. The more the merrier, the closer the better.


My hobbies?

To cuddle with people.


I love to sit in people's lap to give them slobbery kisses. Sometimes it is difficult to sit there because they have small laps and I am a big dog. But we always manage a few hugs and kisses before I fall off. If all else fails, I lean gently but firmly against them to feel their body and collect hugs and pets.

Back in my kennel on death row, coming back from brief outings, I used to sit and reminisce about the good, pleasant, warm and cozy feeling of being close to someone.


Oh, how I long to be close. How I crave the warmth and security of a family. My heart aches for a chance to be with people and to share my life with them. On earth I have lots to give: Dedication, affection, loyalty, protection and a never ending stream of big slobbery Mastiff bulldog kisses. Beyond the Rainbow Bridge I will faithfully be waiting for you ready to be a witness to your goodness.


Right now I am moving from kennels to temporary foster homes. I admit, it is better than sitting on death row in an animal shelter, but I really desire my own family and a permanent home. Believe me, I need very little: A warm place, a simple but nice bed, some good food, time with my people and lots and lots of affection.


Therefore, if you have an empty spot in your house and heart and crave to fill it with warm affection and a cuddly body, I just have the goods for you.


So, jump into your cars and hurry over here to bring me to your home. I will reward you with undying loyalty, limitless love and everything else only a big heart can provide – a big grateful heart.


People say the only thing bigger than Gabe's head is his heart.


It is boundless!
