About Galinda

Galinda is about 1 year and 10 months old, weighing in around 38 lbs, and is settling in with her foster mom in Kemp, TX. She’s a pug mix with Chihuahua influence, and her start in life wasn’t easy, but thanks to Nestor from Bella Hampton Farm Foundation, she’s getting a second chance. Galinda is working on basic commands—sit, come, down, and bed—and shows a real eagerness to learn, especially when treats are involved. She plays well with her foster sister and enjoys cuddle time with her people just as much as playtime. Meeting new folks might take Galinda a little while, but patience and treats win her over. She walks nicely on a leash, loves to travel, and is fully up to date on her shots. She’s spayed and heartworm negative, so she’s ready for her next chapter. Galinda does well with dogs, cats, and children. She’s house trained and really just wants a family who will give her plenty of love and a cozy place to curl up. Please note she isn’t currently eligible for adoption in Massachusetts or New Hampshire. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
