About Gabby

Gabby is a playful 10-month-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix weighing around 12 lbs. She’s spayed and ready to find her forever home. Gabby is still a puppy and is enjoying her time in our foster program where she learns essential skills and embraces the world around her. This little one needs a committed adopter who can provide structure, daily exercise, and engaging activities. Gabby thrives with at least 90 minutes of movement each morning, plus a few brain games to keep her active mind engaged. This means you'll want to be prepared for a journey filled with love and training. She is social with other dogs and even has potential to get along with cats, but be advised: she would do best in a home with kids aged 8 and up due to her playful nature. While she’s currently working on her potty training, Gabby is already house-trained and shows promise with consistent reinforcement. She is also learning leash manners and would benefit from ongoing training. Gabby deserves a forever sidekick who understands the commitment of raising a puppy. She truly has a joyful spirit and is ready to share her heart with you. Adopting a puppy can be a big job, but Gabby is worth every minute. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
