Story
Meet Gidget! Hi! I’m Gidget. I’m a smart, friendly, trusting and calm 2 year old (poodle/terrier??) bundle of love who adores my special people. I love to cuddle on the couch and could do that all day. I started my life in a hoarding situation where I lived outside with lots of other pups. But I’m super duper resilient and have already learned to live inside a house, sleep and eat in a crate, and, I don’t want to brag, but I taught myself how to do stairs on my first try (with just a little encouragement from my foster mom). And I never have accidents in the house! There’s nothing I can’t learn and I’m eager to be the smartest pup around! So far I’ve mastered “sit”, I understand the gentle “uh huh” sound I hear when I need to stop doing something, and I’m getting pretty good at “wait” at the door. I’ve even learned to fetch toys. And all that in just a little over 2 short weeks! I love, love, love walks and even do a cute prancing thing when I’m out in the wilds of my neighborhood. My humans love it! And did you see my fabulous ears? Yep, they bounce when I prance! I do sometimes get nervous when I see people or dogs on our walks. When that happens I give a little bark and maybe even a growl, but my foster mom gently lets me know everything is ok and I relax and trust her. I’m content with a short out and back or a long walk, whatever you want. I’ve been on one hike so far and really liked it! Even though I used to live with lots of dogs,I don’t mind when my foster mom leaves me home alone, especially when she comes back from the store with treats. Who doesn’t love treats? What makes me happy you ask? First and foremost, YOU! And as I’ve already boasted, I love walks, hanging with my human anywhere, kisses, hugs, belly rubs…you get it. I can be a real cuddle monster and will even follow you around the house. Although I don’t get to sleep on the bed where I am now, I would love to sleep on yours! If that’s not ok, I’ll be good in a crate. I’m pretty chill about that stuff. I’ve been told that sometimes I don’t share my people well (and maybe other stuff) with my dog friends in the house. That’s probably true… I do like other dogs but I prefer to hang with humans. Humans are the best. I’ve never met a cat but I do find squirrels intriguing when they run. My foster mom thinks that I could do well with a cat who knows how to teach me manners. You know what they say, “Dogs drool and cats rule!” My foster mom wants me to share with you that because I’m still learning to share my person and other stuff, I might do better with tweens and older kids. But, as I’ve already gloated, I’m smart, a quick study and motivated to learn, so if you have youngsters like me and you’re good at teaching me stuff, we might be able to work something out! So, that’s me in a nutshell. Oh, I forgot to mention, I’ve been told sometimes I have a cute little snore when I sleep and am having fun dreams. And dreams make my big ears twitch!
