Stray Dog Laying in Trash has Heart-melting Reaction When He Sees Rescuers

Gibson was laying in the trash by the side of a highway when someone spotted him and called Stray Rescue of St. Louis. “The caller had driven by multiple times over the last few days, and this dog has been laying there each time,” said Stray Rescue.

When they arrived where Gibson had last been seen, they didn’t see him at first. It took a few seconds to realize he was huddled under the pile of garbage. But he poked his head out when Donna Lochmann approached him and when she spoke to him softly and reached out he had the most endearing reaction.

Gibson’s tail wagged furiously – he was so happy someone was giving him attention. He let Donna put a leash on him and take him back to the car and soon they were back at the shelter where he got medically checked over. He found a foster home a few days later with the Scheftner family where he is getting along with the entire family, kids included. However, he doesn’t do well with any small animals such as “small breed dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, etc.”

Gibson is available for adoption and you can find out more about him on the Stray Rescue of St. Louis website.
