Story
--FOSTER PUPDATE--Snow White A16555550 lbs. spayed female, approx 1.5 years oldThis beautiful girl goes by Gabby in her foster home, and has a heart as big as her journey. Originally adopted at just 6 months old, Gabby found herself in an unsafe, abusive environment where she endured months of neglect. Thankfully, she was rescued and returned to the shelter, where she underwent multiple lifesaving surgeries and began the long road to healing—both physically and emotionally.For the past several months, Gabby has been thriving in the care of a loving medical foster. When she first arrived, she was severely underweight, unsure of her surroundings, and deeply affected by her past. With time, patience, and consistent care, she’s blossomed into a loving, playful, and silly girl who is now ready to find a forever home of her own.Gabby’s Personality:- Medium to high energy: Loves zoomies, snuggles, and chewing on toys.- Smart & eager to learn: Meals come in puzzle feeders or snuffle mats to keep her mentally stimulated.- Heavy chewer & self-entertainer: Durable toys are a must!- Working on leash manners: She’s made great progress with an Easy Walk harness and gentle leader.- Getting better with car rides: Still a bit nervous, but improving with positive experiences.- House-trained: She knows to potty outside and uses a dog door (learned from her foster sibling, Nono!). She also signals when she needs to go.Gabby’s Ideal Home:- A patient and understanding adopter who will let her warm up at her own pace, ideally with multiple meet-and-greets.- Someone who can be home most of the time or is open to doggie daycare, as she struggles with separation anxiety.- Ready to us positive reinforcement training to help her build confidence and manners.- A home without small kids, cats, or small dogs—she thrives with like-sized dogs who are respectful.- An adopter who understands her fear of crates and is willing to work through it gently and gradually.Progress & Milestones:Gabby has come a long way! She’s become more social with familiar faces and even had a huge win recently—she went on an outing, met four new people, and did AMAZING. No grumbles, no hesitation, and even went back for more pets! She’s also been visiting the same friendly faces weekly to help her feel safe and confident in new environments.Meeting people at her foster home has been most successful. Her foster has put in tremendous work to help her feel secure, and we want to ensure her transition is just as smooth so that Gabby doesn’t face another heartbreak.Could You Be Gabby’s Person?Gabby is more than just an adorable face—she’s a survivor who deserves a family that will never give up on her. With the right match, she will thrive and continue to show the loving, goofy, and loyal pup she truly is.If you're ready to be Gabby’s hero and are willing to go at her pace, we’d love to hear from you. She’s ready for her next chapter—could it be with you?This pet is in a foster home!
