Meet the Shop Dog: Mr. Gibson

Saving Grace

Cole Davis

Walk into the administrative offices for Saving Grace—a nonprofit serving survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Central Oregon—and you'll likely be met by an affable golden retriever who, despite his ability to sprawl across the entryway, is still an exuberant puppy. His owner, Assistant Executive Director Trish Meyer has had the fur ball since he was just two months old.
