Meet Gibson! Gibson is a delightful senior gentleman with a gentle nature, a love for life and just a little cheeky streak! Despite his age, Gibson is still quite agile and enjoys his daily walks, although he's certainly in no rush! This little explorer loves to follow his nose, stopping for a thorough sniff at every opportunity. He's generally uninterested in other dogs and is perfectly happy just doing his own thing. At home, Gibson is a quiet, affectionate and easygoing companion. He's beautifully house-trained, rarely barks and adores people of all ages. He loves a comfy spot for a snooze, preferably on a chair or even your bed rather than his own! Don't let his gentlemanly manners fool you, though. Gibson has been known to use kitchen chairs as stepping stones to investigate what's on the bench, so keeping food out of reach is a must! His hearing may not be quite what it once was, but this certainly doesn't stop him from enjoying life! With his lovely long coat, Gibson will also need regular brushing and grooming to keep him looking and feeling his best. His future family will need to be happy to keep up with his grooming needs. This lovely boy would thrive in a quiet, relaxed household where he can enjoy leisurely sniff-filled walks, cosy naps and plenty of affection. He's an undemanding little companion with so much love left to give. If you're looking for a sweet, gentle gentleman to share your days with, Gibson might just be your perfect match!
If Gibson isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
