From Santa Barbara County Animal Services - Lompoc

I'm Gumbo, I came into the shelter as a stray on August 11, 2026, it has been a rough start here because it can be loud sometimes. I was really shut down the first 3 days, then I started accepting treats from familiar faces. I even let them take me out of the kennel and put me in a yard. Once, when I was in the yard, a volunteer came in with me and just sat on the bench. She just sat there and didn't even look at me. I decided to go see what she was doing. She was quiet, didn't move too fast, so I felt safe, and put my paws on her lap. The rest is history! I have more friends around the shelter and even want to meet other dogs. I enjoy meeting new people as long as they let me take my time to get comfortable with them and don't rush me.

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
