GIBSON

The rescue’s notes on GIBSON

MEET GIBSON — OUR HANDSOME HERDING BREED RETURNGibson was adopted from ICAS in mid-May after arriving as a stray, but he has returned as an owner surrender after his family realized they weren’t prepared to manage the natural herding behaviors he showed in the home. They shared that he always wanted to play with the grandchildren, but for a family unfamiliar with typical herding-breed tendencies—especially common in border collie mixes—his behavior felt overwhelming.Important Note: Gibson never went into full-on herding mode with the grandchildren, but his adopters made a responsible and caring decision to return him so he can find a home that truly understands his breed.During his stay with them, we learned some wonderful things about Gibson:• Nearly housebroken• Not crate-trained• Extremely lovable• Knows “sit” and “stay”Now Gibson is looking for a home that understands herding breeds and can confidently navigate his playful nips. If you have experience with (or are willing to learn about) herding tendencies and can offer the structure and enrichment he thrives on, come meet this sweet, intelligent boy in person.Adoption Fee: 80All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and preventatives.
