Gavin started out his "DAWG life" as a silly happy pup, but after a bout of GI problems, he seemed to change. As a result, he has become wary of some people...at times, even people he knows! If he knows the person, he recovers and then wags a greeting. Yes, we checked his eyes and are working with him to get him over this strange new element of his otherwise charming personality. But considering how he needs to build his confidence in people and his surroundings, he may not be the best choice for a busy or inexperienced home, or one with younger children.

We love Gavin because he is so affectionate (he hugs!), but we understand it might take a while to find someone who is a good fit for him. Maybe you're the one. After all, you clicked on Gavin!
