Story
Meet Gabbee — a petite, spirited little character who keeps life interesting and full of laughs.Gabbee’s story began on a road in AK, where she stood her ground barking at the world, unsure of who to trust. She had to be safely trapped before making her way into foster care, and while her journey hasn’t always been easy, she’s come a long way. When she first arrived, she was dealing with some skin issues and hair loss, but with care and love, her coat has grown back beautifully. She still has a bit of itchiness, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit.Gabbee is truly one of a kind. At first, she may be cautious and needs a little time to warm up to new people—but once she does, she becomes an incredibly loyal, fun-loving companion. She forms strong bonds and quickly decides her people are her whole world.She has a big personality packed into a small frame. Playful and sometimes a little mischievous, Gabbee loves to stay busy—whether she’s chasing leaves, bubbles, or toys, “helping” with whatever you’re doing, or even having full-on “conversations” with you. She’s endlessly entertaining and will keep you smiling every day.Gabbee can be selective with other dogs and may come on strong at first, but she settles nicely, especially on leash where she walks beautifully. She has lived alongside a cat and understands boundaries when reminded. She’s also wonderful with kids—she happily enjoys her foster’s 5-year-old grandchild and even going on walks or jogging alongside her bike.This smart girl is both house-trained and crate-trained, loves car rides, and—believe it or not—actually enjoys bath time. She’s even been known to watch TV with her people.Gabbee is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give her the time she needs to fully blossom. In return, she’ll give you endless entertainment, companionship, and a bond that’s truly special.Check out these Gabbee videos:https://youtu.be/2x9W8yLWnDM?si=n77eAUlFmMMXZ-okhttps://youtube.com/shorts/84LzY4-ETmI?si=VpkRNMuIz-6YueGHhttps://youtube.com/shorts/4I7ylpKjOn8?si=8yobnYgFMEev1qtDhttps://youtube.com/shorts/SjK4RLdyY-U?si=xp1kUfnejl1lSQc5https://youtube.com/shorts/p8PGzFfbsz8?si=rKamXTb5IkUBVyU6https://youtube.com/shorts/p1ZtWOU1s3w?si=sKhOlwzIeyETwmH-Name: GabbeeBreed: Shiba Inu/Crossbreed   (Breed mix is not guaranteed-no DNA testing done).Sex: FemaleAge: 1 year  (estimated)Weight: 22.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 5Good with Dogs: SelectiveGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $550.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)                       $100-150 additional mandatory quarantine fee for Massachusetts residents.Location of dog currently:   Texas Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption veterinary costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age-appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England, if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse, whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: 9 mos. (as of 2-26-26) Weight:  15 lbs. (as of 2-26-26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Give a big hug to little Sheba! Sheba is the kind of pup who slips into a new forever home so naturally that you forget she hasn’t been there all along. This petite tan&#226&#128&#145and&#226&#128&#145black Shiba/Rat Terrier mix is playful, outgoing, and wonderfully intelligent — a feisty little companion who loves a nice lap just as much as a good squeaky toy. Sheba has a brother named Manook who is also available for adoption right here at SOS. Whether she’s playing with other dogs, exploring the yard, or waiting patiently for her morning walk, Sheba brings energy and confidence to every activity. She’s social and outgoing, but not demanding; playful, but not chaotic. Her sweet personality is a hit with men and women, young and old, and she gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes. Sheba and her littermates have spent the past nine months in quiet settings with plenty of yard space, so a compact, urban space might require some adjustment, but Sheba's warm, winning attitude would thrive in almost any situation. She's still working on mastering leash walking skills, but Sheba's perfectly content, quiet and clean in a crate for up to eight hours.   Like many young dogs, she’s also still learning basic household manners like sharing and teamwork, but she responds well to gentle corrections and structure. Generally, she’s an easygoing house guest who loves cuddles as much as playtime.  She’s happy to chill when you’re busy and delighted to join in when you’re not. And she's waiting to meet you! Note on Sheba Shiba: This pup enjoys being around other dogs, both in play and as a friendly coexister. She does best if fed and given high value food separately from other dogs as we have noticed some mild resource guarding, which is a common breed trait in Shiba Inus (what we believe to be her breed mix). An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see    HERE    for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website:   Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org)   **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:37 pm
