Gabby

Good with: Dogs Not tested with: Cats, kids House trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Noise level: Some Hey there I'm Gabby the bubbly mixed-breed pup with a hop in my step and a heart of gold! With my soft speckled white and tan fur and soulful yellow/brown eyes I'm quite the charmer. Despite a shoulder injury in my past I've mastered a unique hop-like gait that sets me apart. When it comes to manners I've got them down pat - no accidents in the house and I prefer to savor my meals rather than scarf them down. Now let's talk about my absolute favorite thing: morning walks! There's nothing that gets me more excited than exploring the world outside. Walks dont have to be limited in time or distance as far as my foster mom can tell: I have the same energy and enthusiasm as any other dog. I'm friendly with other dogs but I can be a bit standoffish. I prefer smaller playgroups and may get overwhelmed in crowded dog parks. Despite my injury I'm quite the active pup! I love playing with toys and you might catch me zooming around the yard with one in my mouth. I particularly love prey toys and bully sticks! I also love a good game of fetch and will always bring the toy/ball back to you. I might even surprise you with how high I can jump! I can hop up and ride in the car just fine and love going on adventures. I even recently mastered going up and down a full flight of stairs! When it comes to affection I'm all in! I absolutely adore cuddles and scratches: but I never beg for them just gladly accept them. I'll also keep you company while you work from home while I lounge on the couch. Separation anxiety? Well I might whine a bit when you leave in the crate but with a distraction like a tasty treat I'll be just fine and quiet down quickly. Oh and there's one thing I'm not too fond of: bikes. They make me bark and lunge but cars and trucks? No problem at all! I'm great at "sit" "come" and "wait", but could use some training on walking on a leash. I am overly interested in squirrels and other small animals and my gate makes it harder for me to regulate my speed so as a result I pull a little bit, but with some time and training I can be a leash walking pro! So if you're looking for a well-mannered affectionate companion who's always up for an adventure look no further than yours truly Gabby. I can't wait to hop into your heart and home! My foster guardian says: Gabby is the absolute sweetest pup and is the perfect mix of active outside but calm and affectionate inside. Despite the injury her bunny-like gate makes her the star of the show on walks and at the dog park: people think its absolutely adorable and Id have to agree. If youre looking for a sweet little mix breed look no further than Gabby! Likes: Toys, bones, scratches, sunbathing, morning walks, lounging on the couch Dislikes: Bikes, lots of dogs at once My ideal home: I am pretty flexible and would be happy in a variety of homes!
