Meet Gimlet! Gimlet is a 9-year-old Papillon, experiencing the joy of home life for the first time. After spending years in a breeding environment, everything is new to her. She's a gentle and sweet soul who craves companionship and security. When feeling unsure, Gimlet tends to find comfort under tables or snuggled in her crate. Though she may tremble when nervous, she has never growled or snapped when handled. With a little patience and a slow approach, she'll allow you to hold her and has begun to relax in her foster mom's lap as trust grows each day. Gimlet enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to chase and be chased by her playful pals. A confident dog in her forever home may show her that the world can actually be a safe space. She'll do best with older and respectful children who recognize her need for space and a gentler touch as she builds confidence. Currently, Gimlet is learning house manners and isn’t house trained yet. She's done well keeping her kennel clean and often prefers a spot nearby to do her business. Like many dogs new to home life, she'll flourish with consistent encouragement. A secure fenced yard is a must, as she is a flight risk. A favorite treat of hers? A little canned squeeze cheese mixed into her food! Gimlet isn’t the type to jump into your lap immediately, but with time, you’ll witness this shy girl discover the joy of feeling safe and loved. Her journey may take patience, but the bond you’ll share will be worth every moment. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
