Meet Gidget, a 7-year-old Australian Cattle Dog/Pit Bull Mix weighing 46 pounds. Timid at first, but quick to warm up, she transforms into a wiggly-tailed, affectionate companion. She loves being petted and thinks she's a lap dog, playfully booping your hand if you stop. Her foster mom describes her as special, emphasizing Gidget's impeccable behavior, loyalty, and adaptability to various activities.
This sweetheart's foster mom is proud to say that Gidget is getting much braver.
She used to hide upstairs when the family cooked and ate because of the noise, and she’ll now lay peacefully on the couch, doesn’t beg for food, and just watches TV with the family. She really loves routines and learns them very quickly - she has also became more food motivated. Gidget is calm, cuddly, and will follow you around and lay at your feet. She has a very happy and wiggly bottom, does a happy tap dance when given attention, and just super-loves her humans.
Although Gidget loves humans, she needs to be the only dog in the home.
Gidget thrives outdoors and on walks, demonstrating impeccable leash manners and regularly checking in with her walker. She loves running outside and often gets the "zoomies." She also loves playing fetch. Despite lacking formal commands, Gidget is incredibly well-behaved, calm, and quiet, with no exhibited prey drive—even in the presence of pet rats.
In search of a loving home with a fenced yard, Gidget is ready to blossom with the right person or family. Her foster mom thinks she'll be great with kids, but believes she'll be most comfortable in a quieter home with children over 10 years old. She is a unique and special dog, eagerly awaiting the chance to become a cherished member of a lucky household.
Gidget's adoption and McLean County Registration fees have been sponsored by one of her admirers.
She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
