MEET NEW KID ON THE BLOCK….GUMBO!! We named him Gumbo because he’s a very eclectic breed combo, maybe Lhasa or Tibetan Terrier and Pomeranian? He doesn’t shed 😉 He’s only a year old, tri colored with a black mask and 20 lbs. Maybe Tibetan Terrier X? We don’t know, but it doesn’t matter to us. HE IS A SWEETHEART! 100% puppy! He hails from the streets of Compton, where he was rescued before getting hit by a car!

Gumbo is an active guy, as any one year old puppy is….but he does settle down and loves to cuddle. On walks, he wants to meet everyone and socialize! After he was neutered and dewclaws were removed, we took him to doggie day care to play with the other pups — and he is having a ball! Reports are he’s getting along with everyone, great eater and just needs to learn some manners! He does love to please and listens!! He was getting the hang of potty training but will need a refresher course after being at daycare!

The one thing we have learned about Gumbo is he does not like being alone or separated from the action. He needs a family (kids over 8 would be good, younger he might knock them over!) that will take time to train him and love him to life!! He’s a big kisser and just a very happy go lucky dog. Still learning about toys and what to do with them. He’s a diamond in the rough…scrumptious and a delight. Are you looking for a mascot for your home? He’s waiting.
