This is Gabriel and he is here to make you smile! He's still in puppy territory at 8 mos. old, but he's potty trained and crate trained. He is super food  motivated, and therefore very trainable. Right now he knows his commands, but he's still working on listening. Sounds like my child.Gabriel is good with cats and dogs and kids, so he'd be a wonderful fit anywhere. Also? He loves long walks and playing outside. Perfect timing! You can read more about him and apply to adopt him right here. About this projectFor the next month, I’ll feature photos on my blog, my instagram and my facebook feeds that focus on dogs who need homes. These are dogs currently in foster homes, waiting for their forever family. They are amazing pups who will melt your hearts — some are hard to adopt because they are pit bull mixes (the sweetest dogs ever who cannot help their strength) or they have lived on the streets for a long time and are covered in scars or they might be blind or deaf (or both). Some are simply hard to get adopted because they are black, which is the dumbest reason ever. But each dog that has come into my studio in the last few weeks for photos has had a warm heart and wanted nothing more than love. Wouldn’t it be great if one of you could provide that? I hope so. To see all the dogs featured so far, look here. Also, special shout out to Lucy & Co. for donating all of the amazing bandanas!
