About Gumbo:
Gumbo was rescued as a 5-month old puppy from Baton Rouge. We fell in love with his almost all-white coat with black "ticking" from the start. Gumbo is a happy dog and always seems to be smiling, with the corners of his mouth turned up, his tongue hanging out and his tail curled tight over his back.
Gumbo is a very gentle dog and seems to have an intuitive sense of the situation he's in. He's comfortable with people of all ages. However, being a border collie, if a tennis ball shows up, all bets are off!
Places we visit:
Azalea Estates Assisted Living, PAWS 4 Reading at the Ouachita Parish Library
Gumbo's favorite visits: Azalea Estates

GUMBO HAS EMAIL!
Now you can email Gumbo to ask him questions about being a therapy dog. Your emails go straight to his personal doggie address. Don't be surprised if you get a few woofs in his response. Send him an email today! He loves to hear how handsome he is.
All of our PAWS Therapy teams consist of local volunteers and their personal pets. All animals have undergone strict personality screening, obedience training, and are certified by Therapy Dogs International or Delta Society. To become a PAWS Therapy team, it is a requirement your animal be certified by one of the national pet therapy organizations. Contact us today! We'll help you get certified so you can brighten lives with your companion animal.
