About dogs named Gibbs

The following are 10 profiles of dogs named Gibbs from our database of 30 dogs with the name Gibbs.

• “Excitable goof who is too smart for his own good. He had an injury when he was a puppy“

  — Jessa S.

• “Gibbs can be mouthy because he wants all attention on him! He just wants to be heard and given butt scratches. Adjusting to not being an old child has been hard because 100+ pounds of dog doesn’t fit on Mom too easily.“

  — Hailey D.

• “I am a playful puppy who likes to eat, or at least sample, everything and who gets overexcited pretty easily. I love other dogs and people but am still learning how to play with others.“

  — Sarah S.

• “Gibbs is a male 3 year old beagle mixed with blue tick hound. I rescued him last summer and he has changed my life for the better! He loves walks, treats and playing in the water. He has a lot of energy that I would like to get out by letter him run freely without the worry of him escaping. I would love to find enclosed water area for him to play in! He has a cat brother named Moonlight who he enjoys playing with as well.“

  — Tracey P.

• “Hi, I love to bake in the sun and sniff around. Living out my golden years in style :)“

  — Polly W.

• “At home, I’m completely glued to my mom, I love to cuddle and always need to be touching my person. I also like to think I’m pretty sneaky and lightning-fast when it comes to “borrowing” things from Mom and Dad. They usually end up finding their missing belongings tucked away in my extra-large kennel… my secret stash spot (or so I thought). I recently got an older brother, and we became best pals almost instantly. While Mom works during the day, she lets us boys have our fun, whether we’re snuggled up together or racing around the house in a full-on chase. I love chewing on sticks, especially big ones, and I proudly drag them inside. Mom doesn’t seem as impressed and usually has to clean up my “treasures” after she clocks out. By the end of the day, I’m totally worn out from all the playing and chewing. And now that Mom discovered Sniffspot, I can’t wait to show my adopted brother even more of Michigan!“

  — Tonya W.

• “Hello, my name is Gibby and my favorite thing in the world is to go swimming!“

  — Julie J.

• “Gibby is a super happy boy that loves a good amount of space to run in.. as well as a spot to crash and take naps belly up. :)“

  — 𝐵𝓇𝒾 𝒜.

• “I am so cute and the sweetest pup imaginable, but outside my house bubble, i live in fear. I have three legs. My mom adopted me just after my leg was amputated when I was around 10 months old. I had a rough start to life, getting dropped at a shelter in a cardboard box at just a few weeks old with two broken legs. One leg healed, the other didn't, so it had to go. I worry people are going to hurt me (especially men) and I REALLY worry dogs are going to hurt me (especially large, male dogs). My mom is hoping Sniffspot gives me some much-needed stimulation during the day, so I'm less destructive/bored at home.“

  — Danielle M.

• “Gibbs is a 9 year old malinios mix rescue. He loves to sniff and explore.“

  — Jackie R.
