Gaia is a calm, friendly girl who thrives on affection and gives sweet, gentle kisses. Unimpressed by toys, Gaia is more interested in treats and human interaction. She prefers chilling in the play-yard over going for walks, and she adores basking in the sunshine. But she does walk pretty well on the leash. She knows the "sit" command and is treat-motivated, so she should learn new commands easily. She does well with other dogs, cats, and even kids! She's currently in foster with a cat, dog, and young child and she's amazingly wonderful with all of them. She has exhibited some separation anxiety, but it was quickly resolved once the foster brought her another foster dog to play. Her shy, somewhat nervous demeanor became calm and confident once she had another dog to care for; her foster brother is a very stressed timid pit bull and she's enjoying showing him how to be a dog. She's really come out of her shell since being fostered. Gaia's fur is velvety soft, and she loves nothing more than to snuggle. If you're looking for a loving, mild-mannered pup to curl up next to you on the couch, then Gaia is your girl! Her adoption fee covers her spay, microchip, and vaccinations, including rabies. If you think Gaia might be your next best friend, head to our website at www.hsnb.org and fill out an adoption interest form.

Additional adoption info
We test animals for the following:
Dogs: Good with other dogs, possibly cats, food aggression, walks on leash, noting any other attributes we may know.
Cats: Good with other cats, litter box trained, noting any other attributes we may know.
We cannot test if any animal is good with children. We may know if an animal is possibly house trained, but cannot guarantee any animal in the shelter is house trained. We do not know if a dog is good with cats unless we are advised by a person surrendering the animal. We may have an idea of this depending on how the dog reacts to our community cats that live on the property.
Please visit our website for current fees, and to find out about adoption specials! (The website link is at the top and bottom of this page)
