Story
  Gibson is a 4 year old Black Lab male that weighs 60-65 pounds and is a  mellow guy that needs to own his home and his people.  He has belonged to someone in thempast because this handsome boy loads up in a car with the ease of BUTTAH!   Just say “let’s go” and Gibson is right there to hop in and ride off in to the sunset. He is housebroken and very mellow and low key.  We have tried him in other homes and he was fine with most of the other dogs but where he is now, the dog and Gibson,Don’t gel.  Gibson needs to be King of the home and the family’s world.  He is a good boy and a happy well-adjusted dog that is ready to make your world a happy one! Please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com    PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.com
