Pet Of The Week – Gill

For the last few weeks we’ve been introducing you to one of the most adorable litters of pups you could ever hope to meet, and this week we’re excited to introduce you to one more of this group; please meet Gill! Gill is an 11 ½ -week old Terrier/Hound mix whose beautiful tri-color markings, short stubby legs (could there be some Bassett Hound in his DNA?) and sweet face could melt even the hardest of hearts.

Gill came to Green Hills Animal Shelter along with his mom and five siblings after being picked up as strays. Life on the street is hard for any animal, but for a mom and 5 babies struggling in the heat it was extra dangerous. Fortunately this little family was rescued, and they quickly and happily settled into life at the shelter, thankful for plentiful food, fresh water and lots of love.

Gill is a laid-back, happy pup who is playful and loving. He can be a little shy when he first meets new people, but he warms up quickly, and in no time at all he will be your best little friend. Gill is very gentle and enjoys being held and petted; receiving attention is his favorite activity!

Gill’s sweet personality would fit well in virtually any home environment, but if he could describe his perfect Forever Home, he would tell us that he would like to be an indoor dog with a family who will spend lots of time with him.  He would love a fluffy bed of his own, and lots of puppy toys. He would be very happy to have a canine friend in his Forever Home, and he would also do well in a home with children (he would be a great pup for a child to grow up with!) Since Gill spends his time at the shelter playing and snuggling with his siblings he hasn’t yet had an opportunity to form an opinion on cats, but with his young age and friendly, laid-back personality he would likely learn to love a feline friend, too.

Gill will go to his Forever Home neutered, dewormed, and up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations. He is truly a bundle of sweetness; could you make his dream of a Forever Home come true?

For more information on Gill, his siblings, or any of the animals waiting for their Forever Homes at Green Hills Animal Shelter, please phone the shelter at 660-359-2700 or stop by during open business hours. We’d love to introduce you to your new best friend!
