Three-year-old Gammo came to ARK in April 2025 with two of his brothers. As the most timid of the pack, he took a long time to get used to his new environment. Having to constantly meet new staff and volunteers made things all the harder.
But Gammo has turned things around in a big way. ¡°He goes absolutely insane with joy when someone that he knows comes along,¡± says one staffer. These days, Gammo likes to make odd sounds that likely are his take on human speech, and?his tail will nearly tip him over sometimes because he¡¯s wagging it so hard.
Even just hanging out in the dog run fills him with glee. He¡¯ll check things out, lope around, sniff the grass and ¡°water¡± the trees. But if Naruto, his best buddy and brother, is out there, watch out ¡ª Gammo becomes a ¡°big, goofy fluffball.¡±
He¡¯ll race around with such exuberance and intent that he looks like he¡¯s rushing to home plate off a grounder to second. He¡¯ll crash into Naruto with a force undoubtedly many times his own 12 kilograms. They¡¯ll roughhouse for a bit, then chill under a tree together.
At the end of the day, Gammo is a wonderful dog. He may love people enough to be fine as the sole pet of a household but would likely make a fantastic friend for another dog. The dream scenario would be to find a home together for him and his brother.
