MEET GIBSON: LOOKING FOR HIS PERFECT MATCHGibson was adopted from ICAS in mid-May after coming to us as a stray, and now returns as an owner surrender after his adoptive family was unable to manage the nippiness he was showing in the home. They shared that he always seemed like he wanted to play with their grandchildren, but for those unfamiliar with herding dog tendencies that border collie mixes like Gibson possess, it felt scary.Gibson never broke skin when he nipped to play, but to ensure safety for both the family and Gibson, they made the responsible decision to return him so we could help him find a home more suited to his breed.While with his family, we learned that he is nearly housebroken, not crate-trained, and extremely lovable. He knows the commands âsitâ and âstayâ and is now ready for the family that understands him best.His ideal family will understand his breed and know how to navigate his playful nips. If you can provide Gibson with the home made just for him, and you are familiar with herding behaviors, please come meet this handsome, loving boy in person.Adoption Fee: $80All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and preventatives.
