His fourth adoption went better. The staff at the CAS didn’t see Gumby for 4 whole months, but then he returned, again labelled as a stray. Adoption #5 lasted 2 months, but then Gumby was found on the streets 30 miles away from Charleston.

During his final adoption, which lasted a month, Gumby escaped from home 3 times. The CAS staff eventually realized that Gumby belonged at the CAS, and that he was happier there. They adopted him themselves, and he’s stayed put ever since.
