Gator, a one-year-old male weighing a bit over 40 lbs., is currently with one of our wonderful fosters. His foster says "Gator is adaptable to the energy of the environment. He’s super energetic but also super calm. When he wants to play he’ll go pick up a toy and come throw it at your feet when he’s ready for some bonding time. He can play for hours if you let him, but when it’s time to relax or take a nap, he’s down to do that as well. He’s very adaptable. He does like attention. He’s a companion for sure. He listens and really looks at you for direction and he’s extremely silly." Here’s what we know so far about his time in foster care: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:ab004e22-7101-4769-b57c-… If you’re open to a little patience and a lot of possibility, come meet Gator! You might be the person who helps them feel safe, confident, and right at home. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Submit an adoption survey from above and our team will reach out via phone or email (check spam) to schedule a counseling call. For any additional questions, please contact fosternyc@bestfriends.org.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
