My name is Gorda!

Meet Gorda!

Our amazing 9 year old Chow mix girl Gorda is ready to find her forever family! She’s looking for someone who can provide daily walks and an active lifestyle. Here’s some info about her.

Walking Needs: She tends to pull strongly at first but eases into the walk as she settles. Daily exercise is essential for her happiness!

Family-Friendly: Gorda has done well with children in the past and thrives in a family home environment.

Dog Compatibility: While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she does best with neutral, low-energy, and submissive companions.

Cat Tolerance: She has shown neutral behavior around cats. She spends a lot of her supervised time around our cat, and she shares the bedroom with us at night. She occasionally gets curious, but a simple `no` or `leave it` redirects her attention.

Affectionate Nature: This girl craves companionship and prefers being close to her humans. She enjoys cuddling and often sleeps at the foot of the bed or beside you.

Crate Training & Anxiety: Gorda struggles with crate training and struggles with separation anxiety, which is currently managed with Trazodone.

Active Lifestyle Lover: She adores outdoor activities like walking, jogging, and sniffing sessions. If you`re physically active, she will be your perfect match!

Car Rides: She`s enthusiastic about car rides but can get a bit anxious during them. Patience and reassurance are key here.

Stubborn Spirit: Although she can be a little stubborn initially, her loving nature more than makes up for it.

If you have experience with dogs and are ready to welcome this sweet senior into your home, please consider adopting her. She promises to fill your life with love, joy, and plenty of outdoor adventures!
