Hey there, I'm Gabby, the bubbly mixed-breed pup with a hop in my step and a heart of gold! With my soft speckled white and tan fur and soulful yellow/brown eyes, I'm quite the charmer. Despite a shoulder injury in my past, I've mastered a unique hop-like gait that sets me apart from the rest. When it comes to manners, I've got them down pat - no accidents in the house, and I prefer to savor my meals rather than scarf them down.
Now, let's talk about my absolute favorite thing: morning walks! There's nothing that gets me more excited than exploring the world outside. Walks don’t have to be limited in time or distance, as far as my foster mom can tell: I have the same energy and enthusiasm as any other dog. I'm a social butterfly, but sometimes I can get a tad too enthusiastic, especially around smaller or senior pups. I prefer smaller playgroups and may get overwhelmed in crowded dog parks.
My second favorite thing has to be car rides. I don't care where we're going: I will enthusiastically hope up into the car and sit calmy in the back seat looking out the window, smelling all the smells. Just don't roll the window down all the way or else I might try to hop out! I love going on any and all adventures. I'm the perfect companion to bring anywhere.
Despite my injury, I'm quite the active pup! I love playing with toys, and you might catch me zooming around the yard with one in my mouth. I also love a good game of fetch and will always bring the toy/ball back to you. I might even surprise you with how high I can jump! I even recently mastered going up and down a full flight of stairs!
When it comes to affection, I'm all in! I absolutely adore cuddles and scratches: but I never beg for them, just gladly accept them. I'll also keep you company while you work from home while I lounge on the couch. Separation anxiety? Well, I might whine a bit when you leave in the crate, but with a distraction like a tasty treat and some background noise, I'll be just fine and quiet down quickly.
Oh, and there's one thing I'm not too fond of: bikes. They make me bark and lunge, but cars and trucks? No problem at all! I could use some training on basic commands like "sit" and "down" and also some leash work. I am overly interested in squirrels and other small animals, and my gate makes it harder for me to regulate my speed so as a result, I pull a little bit, but with some time and training I can be a leash walking pro!
So, if you're looking for a well-mannered, affectionate companion who's always up for an adventure, look no further than yours truly, Gabby. I can't wait to hop into your heart and home!
My foster guardian says: Gabby is the absolute sweetest pup and is the perfect mix of active outside but calm and affectionate inside. Despite the injury, her bunny-like gate makes her the star of the show on walks and at the dog park: people think it’s absolutely adorable and I’d have to agree. If you’re looking for a sweet little mix breed, look no further than Gabby!
Likes: Toys, bones, scratches, sunbathing, morning walks, lounging on the couch
Dislikes : Bikes, lots of dogs at once
My ideal home: I am pretty flexible and would be happy in a variety of homes!
