About Gabby

Gabby is a sweet and loving 3-4 year old Shih Tzu, weighing around 11 pounds. She thrives on cuddles and enjoys snuggling up on a comfy lap while getting chin scratches. Gabby has shown she gets along well with other small dogs, and while she hasn't interacted with kids, her gentle nature suggests she would likely do well with school-age children and older. This little lady walks well on a leash and is house trained with regular breaks. She adapts well at the groomer too. However, Gabby experiences anxiety with loud noises due to a traumatic past, so her new family should be prepared to explore options for managing her comfort during storms and fireworks. Gabby is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm tested, and on preventatives. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
