Volunteer notes, 5/18/24: I took Ms. Gladdis out to the Paul’s Pasty adoption event and then my partner and I took her on a stroll to see the antique cars at the car show and to get smoothies! Gladdis is the perfect lady! She actually fell asleep in the car and stayed in the car for the first part of the adoption event so she could nap! She is great on leash and super low energy. She would be a great lap dog or just a partner to hang out with on a lazy day. She has the saddest eyes and is looking for a partner or family to give her everything she deserves.
Foster notes, 5/2/24: Gladdis is well mannered. She is a beautiful dog with the most expressive eyes. She loves long walks, easy jogs, neighbors and their treats, bathing in the sun, rolling in freshly mowed grass... While on a leash, Gladdis has met children that were reminded that dogs need slow introductions and have their own space around them. She met passive and playful dogs while on a leash. Gladdis has lived with my cat for 1 month and she basically ignored him. She does not like unruly or ill mannered dogs. She will snicker to let them know she is unhappy and walk away. Gladdis is potty trained and will walk to the door a few times if she needs to go out. She loves her walks, so she does not potty as soon as she is let outside. Gladdis was not destructive but did find my late husband`s NY Yankees slippers and chewed on it for one day. I guess she is an Atlanta Braves fan! Gladdis is precious and will bring you a lifetime of love and happiness if you are there for her. She enjoys meeting new people, walks well on leash, does well with small children, and is crate trained.
Dog Day Out notes, 4/1/24: After 7 years of not owning a dog, Gladdis is a breath of fresh air. She’s an absolute sweetheart and I can tell she loves the outdoors. She was hesitant getting in my car the first time so I put her in which she didn’t mind. I met with my dad and we took her to Morgan Creek Trail in Chapel Hill and the Saxapahaw Island Park, and she did really well on the drive to both areas. She looked out the window and laid down for most of the ride. I’ve walked her a few times before at the shelter but she was great meeting my dad for the first time! It did take a little effort to get her out of the car but she was happy to be out once she realized we would be walking. She walks SO well and enjoyed some time in nature, sniffing around along the way. We encountered a few other dogs while wa
