Introducing Gabriel, the resilient and intelligent pup with a heart of gold, and now, a tale of courage despite facing adversity. Gabriel’s journey began when he stumbled upon Tipton County Paws and Claws, collapsing in front of the building that shelters rescued animals like him. His survival instincts led him to the right place, where he was immediately taken in, nourished, and cared for by the compassionate team.

Despite the challenges he faces, Gabriel’s spirit remains unwavering. He’s shown remarkable progress since his arrival, though his journey to full recovery is ongoing.

With one eye already blind and the possibility of impaired vision in the other, Gabriel faces obstacles with bravery and determination. The extent of his visual impairment is currently under investigation, with a comprehensive examination scheduled for Monday.

Even in the face of uncertainty, Gabriel’s gentle nature shines through. His block head and affectionate demeanor have endeared him to everyone he meets, and he continues to thrive in the company of both humans and fellow canines. While his interactions with cats remain untested, there’s no doubt that Gabriel’s loving spirit transcends any physical limitations.

As Gabriel prepares for his vet appointment, we are committed to ensuring he receives the best care. His facial wounds, a testament to his resilience, are healing well under their attentive gaze.

The bond Gabriel shares with his caregivers is undeniable. One volunteer, deeply moved by his presence, has offered to personally accompany him to his forever home in New England. It’s a testament to the profound impact Gabriel has had on those who have had the privilege of caring for him.

As Gabriel’s journey unfolds, one thing is certain: he’s a survivor in every sense of the word, and whoever opens their heart and home to him will be rewarded with a lifetime of unwavering loyalty and love.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
