About this Dog
Gumbo is a 2-year-old, 79-pound bundle of pure sweetness, a mix of American Bulldog and German Shorthair Pointer. Gumbo was rescued in September of 2024 and has been living the life with his foster. He's a true triple-threat...handsome, goofy, and athletic! Here's what Gumbo's foster has to say about him: "I first spotted Gumbo in a gated public enclosure on a scorching 100-degre day, tied up and near heat exhaustion. I noticed him while stopped at a traffic light and couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. I went home, grabbed a sunshade, food and water, thinking I'd help the dog and his owner. But when I returned, I learned the heartbreaking truth - the person who had him didn't want him and had abandoned him there. I gave Gumbo some water and set up the sunshade, but as I walked away, I glanced back and saw the defeat in his eyes. My heart told me, "You have to be his voice." I turned around, untied him, and in that moment, his joy was beyond words. Now, Gumbo is safe, thriving, and ready to share his love with a forever family." Gumbo is already ahead of the game when it comes to training! He’s a proud graduate of our PAWs to Prison program, where he mastered an incredible 22 commands — everything from “heel” to “go to bed” and even “hide and seek!" Gumbo isn’t just handsome, he's super smart too! Could Gumbo be the missing piece you've been looking for?

100% of Gumbo's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Gumbo.
Adopt Gumbo and Receive Gumbo's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Gumbo's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Gumbo's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Gumbo, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Gumbo's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Gumbo was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Gumbo’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Gumbo’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Gumbo’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
