About Gabbie

Gabbie is a striking young American Staffordshire Terrier with a glossy chocolate coat. She’s only recently come off a tough start—she was abandoned at a garbage dump in Silsbee, TX and left to fend for herself. After rescue, she’s landed in foster care where she’s learning the ropes of living indoors. She missed out on basic training as a pup, so everything is new and she throws herself into it with full force. Gabbie is crate trained and is picking up house manners, but her energy is intense and she’s still finding her brakes. She’ll need a strong and committed adopter—someone patient, physically capable, and ready to show her the ropes. Gabbie gets along with other dogs, but not with cats or children, so a home where it’s just adults and maybe another dog is ideal. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and on preventative care. Adopting Gabbie comes with a process, including a home visit. Her journey is proof that dogs bounce back, but she’ll require steady guidance and strong leadership. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
