About Gypsy

Gypsy is a gentle hound who’s had a tough past. She and her siblings once survived being chained outdoors in a snowstorm, but now she's getting a well-deserved reset. Gypsy is about six years old and likely a Foxhound mix, with that calm, steady personality hounds are known for. She can come across nervous at first, a sign she didn’t get much early socialization, though she warms up with patience and shows a sweet, loving side. Gypsy is happiest quietly near her people—no need to entertain the entire room. She’s spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and currently undergoing treatment for Lyme disease. Gypsy loves being around other dogs and is reported to be uninterested in cats, making her a good fit for a multi-pet household. Her temperament is quiet and calm enough for apartment life. She isn’t house trained yet, which is something an understanding adopter will need to help her with. Gypsy needs a patient home that can give her the security she’s always lacked, and in return, she’ll become a loyal, gentle companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
