For today’s featured pet-of-the week,
Blue Ridge Humane Society would like you to meet:
Gumball https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/BRHS-A-88739
Gumball is a deaf, 8 month old hound mix, medium sized. This one-of-a-kind love bug is as unique and wonderful as his name. Gumball might have a hearing impairment, but he doesn’t let that slow him down — in fact, he moves like he has no bones at all! He’s an animated boy full of wiggly joy who lights up when he sees you, then happily entertains himself with his own silly adventures. Gumball is a genuine soul — gentle, goofy, and endlessly versatile — and he’s looking for a family just as special as he is. If you’re ready for unconditional love, laughter, and a fun dufus who will roll right into your heart, Gumball is waiting for you!
