About Gabriella

Gabriella is a charming 6-year-old Shih Tzu, perfectly embodying a mix of maturity and youthful spirit. Her days are best spent on her treasured Squishmallow, surrounded by snacks and the warmth of her favorite people. This affectionate lady is fully vetted and heartworm negative, eager to find her forever home where she can truly unwind. She thrives in a calm environment and gets along with dogs, cats, and children. Gabriella has some vision loss in one eye, so she values her personal space and would do best in a household that understands this. Quick movements or over-enthusiastic greetings might overwhelm her, so gentle introductions are key. With time and the right patience, she will reveal her sweet nature, especially when treats and cuddles come into play. If your home includes a soft couch, a snack budget, and at least one Squishmallow to share, Gabriella is ready to meet you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
