Story
Giselle Paris was adopted in Feb 2019. She has been a wonderful addition to our family and is full of love and personality. We had another dog when we got her and it took them about a year to adjust to being together, but has been mostly without incident unless food has been involved. There have been a few occasions when the dogs have become aggressive with each other when food has been involved. Giselle (Gelly) has only even been aggressive when prompted- food, come at, yanking her hair while brushing, etc- very normal situational things. We have gone years without incident, but as she has aged she’s gotten a bit more then we can handle with a toddler in the home as well. Gelly is a sweetheart who loves with her entire heart and soul, she comforts you when you’re upset, she protects you from thunder and the mailman. She is VERY food motivated. Her birthday is 7/1/2018, she is up to date all on things, she does take anxiety meds once daily. She needs a home where she is the only dog.

Story
Theo was born on January 16th. He is up to date on his shots but too young to be neutered. He comes with anything you could need for a brand new puppy! He was not originally my dog. I took him on from a family member who bought him from a breeder, and after a few weeks realized they could not take care of him. I was concerned for his wellbeing so I took on the task of finding his new home. He is energetic, smart, was practically potty trained in three weeks, and loves people. I am sure that after he runs around enough he’ll make a perfect lap dog.

Story
My name is Juniper, and if youre looking for a gentle, graceful companion to stroll through life with, I think we might get along beautifully. At four years of age, I display a soft spirit and a heart thats ready to settle into a home of my own. No one knows much about my life before I arrived at GP, but I can tell you this: Im healthy, Im hopeful, and Im learning that the world can be a kind place.<br/><br/>One of my favorite things is going for walks. I move right along at your side, happy to match your pace, happy just to be with you. People tell me I walk fabulously on leash, and I have to admit, I do enjoy hearing that. Im a little on the skinny side at the moment, but with treats, training, and love, Ill fill out and shine the way Im meant to. Im already feeling stronger and more confident every day.<br/><br/>Im a loving girl, but I prefer not to share my home with other dogs. Ive learned that Im happiest when I can soak up all the affection and attention without competition. A peaceful home where I can be your one and only would make me feel safe and cherished.<br/><br/>What I want most is a person or family who sees the sweetness in me, who enjoys quiet companionship and steady affection. Im ready to be someones loyal friend, their walking buddy, their soft-eyed shadow whos always happy to see them. If youre looking for a lovely, gentle soul to welcome into your life, Im waiting with an open heart.

Story
Hi, my name is Sophie, and everything about me and my personality fits my name. Im sweet, friendly and loving. Ive been a very good girl in the home, and Ive had four wonderful years of experience with a family. Ill tell you why Ive been surrendered in just a minute. First, all you want to know about little ole me! Ive got femme fatale good looks, and my level of intelligence matches my beauty. My previous owner said that Im completely house trained, and I also do well in a crate. I absolutely loved my fenced in back yard. I went in and out throughout the day, and I like to explore and take sunbaths whenever I can. I know sit, stay, outside and high five. <br/><br/>When I was at the shelter the first time, staff knew that I didnt like children very much. Kids just fill me with anxiety. Now that the baby in my home has turned into a toddler and is toddling around, Ive been very nervous and visibly upset. I dont like something that is as unpredictable as a child in my life. I want to be happy again, and Im counting on someone wonderful like you to find me and give me a chance at a new home. Maybe your kids are grown? Im really a wonderful girl, through and through. Cant you come and meet me? Id sure like to find love again.
