Gaia is a spunky and playful Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu puppy with a big personality. This little pup loves to use his voice to let you know when he needs attention, and he enjoys nothing more than playing with his sister. Gaia doesn't like being alone and prefers to be in the company of his humans or his sibling, making him a great companion for someone who's often around.
He's full of energy and loves to run after you, though once he's done, he's ready to relax and stay put. Gaia sleeps in a crate with his sibling and is currently working on potty training with pee pads, though he's still learning and may have a few accidents along the way.
Gaia has been around adults only and gets along well in the car. He's highly food motivated, which makes training a fun and rewarding experience. Despite having a cherry eye, it doesn't affect his vision or his joyful spirit. Once Gaia realizes you're the source of cuddles and food, he'll be your best friend for life!
If you're looking for a loving, playful, and loyal pup, Gaia is ready to bring his spunky personality into your home!
* Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results. We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on. Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
