Gemini

Meet Gemini – Your Future Couch King with a Side of Sass! Are you looking for a dog who embodies the perfect mix of chill and spontaneous bursts of energy? Do you need a best friend who will watch your favorite TV shows while occasionally judging your choices with his ridiculously expressive face? Then, let us introduce Gemini, the 80-pound English Bulldog with a heart of gold, a love for the simple things in life, and a personal philosophy that can be summed up as: “My space, my rules… but also, I love you.” At around 4 years old, Gemini has mastered the fine art of leisurely living—taking short walks, enjoying the great outdoors (in very small doses), and then promptly returning to his rightful place: his bed. He enjoys a good stroll through the yard, sniffing the grass like a true nature enthusiast before settling down to do what he does best—window watching like a nosy neighbor. The Gemini Experience     •    Personality: Friendly, loving, and independent. Think of him as the perfect roommate—he enjoys company but also appreciates his alone time.     •    Energy Level: A solid mix of “let’s go on an adventure!” and “okay, that’s enough, time for a nap.”     •    People Skills: A little wary at first, but once he trusts you, he’s all in (on his terms, of course).     •    Other Dogs: He’s a social butterfly in moderation—ideally, he’d have a dog buddy of similar size and energy to lounge and vibe with.     •    House Manners: House-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and has yet to admit whether he knows any tricks (we suspect he does but enjoys keeping us guessing). Special Notes:     •    Medical Needs? Yes, Gemini is on a prescription diet to manage bladder stones, and will need yearly check-ups to ensure they don't return. He had his cherry eyes surgically corrected and that is now resolved. But hey, who doesn’t have something these days?     •   Grooming? He’s a “wash and go” kind of guy—low maintenance and always stylish.     •   Favorite Pastimes? Chewing on his nylabone, playing with stuffed animals, and keeping an eye on the world outside.     •   Biggest Quirk? His super expressive face that tells you everything he’s thinking (even if you didn’t ask).     •  Best Part of Fostering Him? Watching him feel safe, healthy, and loved—he deserves nothing less. Ideal Home for Gemini: Gemini is looking for a quiet, stable home where he can have his own space but still enjoy companionship. He doesn’t require a fenced in yard, but he sure loves wandering around in one! If you’re the kind of person who appreciates a dog that’s both sweet and independent, who will love you dearly but also politely request alone time, Gemini might just be your perfect match. Are you ready to give Gemini the forever home he deserves? Apply today and meet your new best friend! _________________________________ The adoption donation for Gemini is $250. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention (age appropriate). If you would like to meet this dog, you must have an approved application on file and be willing to travel to the Mahoning County, Ohio area for a meet and greet. All of our dogs reside in foster homes. We do not have a physical shelter. Applications will be reviewed/approved and each dog will be placed in the home that can best meet their individual need.
