My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gilley (short for Gillian), one of Save the Strays' long-term residents. 

At 9 years young, Gilley still has a lot of pep in her step. She goes absolutely crazy for toys and can destroy most of them within 5 minutes. Although she enjoys a good romp in the yard, she's also quite happy to just hang out, get a belly rub and take a nap at your feet.

Because Gilley has been here so long (since 2018) she won't be a 'plug and play' adoption. She’s lived in a rural environment with one woman and very few visitors, so she'll definitely need time to adjust to a new home and adopter(s). She's nervous outside of her current home environment, so should be introduced to new sights, sounds and people in small doses.

Gilley’s also initially a little uncertain around other dogs, especially if they’re also nervous or too forward. She will play with them once she's comfortable with them. But we think she would be most comfortable in a quiet home with one or two adults where she’s either the only dog or there's only one other laid-back dog of similar size. 

If you're someone who has a heart for the 'underdog' and can give Gilley time, space and understanding to let her relax and adjust, you might be pleasantly surprised at the result. Once she knows you, she's incredibly loyal and gives and receives affection freely. 

Gilley's adoption fee is $200. For more information or an application, email us at info@savethestrays.org.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Email info@savethestrays.org for our application or use the online application at our website.

2.

Interview

We check applicants' vet references (if applicable) and personal references, then interview the applicants.

3.

Meet the Pet

Once approved, applicants can meet the dog and, if they like it, complete the adoption and take it home.

Additional adoption info

We are a home and foster care-based rescue, with no shelter facility. Because our rescue dogs live in private homes, we ask those interested in adopting from us to complete our application as the first step in our process. We only set up an appointment to meet the dog(s) in which they are interested after they are approved to adopt.
