About Gypsy

Gypsy is a survivor who has beaten the odds with a sweet nature and a resilient spirit. At just under 4 years old, this white and apricot heeler mix came in as a stray and soon faced a fight with cancer. She came through surgery and chemo like a champ, and now she’s thriving, healthy, and ready for her next chapter. This girl loves other dogs and genuinely enjoys their company—she thrives on play, especially games of fetch, which she’ll happily play as long as you’re willing. Afterward, Gypsy is all about cuddling with her people, soaking up as much affection as she can. She’s gentle, house trained, and settles in easily, leaving her difficult past far behind. If you’re looking for a loving, joyful companion who has proven just how strong she is, Gypsy is eager to meet you. She’s currently in Kerrville, TX, but will be transported to her forever home once adopted. Start your journey together! Apply now.
