About Gargoyle

Meet Gargoyle, your new cuddle buddy. Don’t let her name fool you; she’s more of a love bug than a spooky statue. Her foster describes her as simply perfect, and after spending time with her, it’s clear why. Gargoyle is house trained and will politely paw at you when she needs to go outside. She’s also comfortable in a crate and enjoys car rides. Dog friendly and playful, she’s smart and follows commands easily. While she can be a bit shy around tall, burly men, her warm, affectionate nature shines through once she knows she’s safe. At home, she’s all about snuggles—curling up beside you, or even on top of you, is her preferred way to relax. Walks make her excited; she gets thrilled when the leash comes out, but she quickly finds her stride. Gargoyle is calm, cuddly, and easy to have around, making her an ideal family companion. She’s ready to move out of shelter life and into a home filled with love and playtime. Come meet Gargoyle to see why everyone who meets her falls in love!
