About Gaby

Gaby is truly the whole package! This sweet girl is well-behaved and looks like a mini Labrador/Border Collie mix. At just 1 year old and weighing 32 lbs, she’s a full-grown pup ready for her forever home. Gaby gets along famously with dogs of all sizes, especially those smaller than her, and she has a delightful personality that shines through. Mellow and not a barker, she balances her playful side with moments of lounging at her foster's feet. Gaby loves to zoom around the yard, play with her toys, and has proven to be an excellent listener. She's learning commands, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys car rides. Being found as a stray, she spent time in a high-kill shelter before landing in a loving foster home, and now she’s thriving! Gaby is potty trained, can be left alone comfortably, and even does well in a crate. Gaby has been spayed, is up to date on vaccinations, and is on preventatives. She takes treats gently and is incredibly easygoing. If you’re looking for a companion to snuggle and explore with, Gaby could be your perfect match. Let’s make it official! Apply to adopt her today!
