My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Galleta is a sweet middle-aged gal who ended up at PACC after living in one home for five years. As you can imagine, that must have been pretty confusing for her, but this girl has shown herself to be incredibly resilient and she has adapted well, looking forward to her walks with volunteer friends and yard time with her kennelmates. But, she is surely dreaming of having a family of her own again!

While her former owner surrendered Galleta when the household dynamics changed and they could no longer care for her, they loved her and said the following:

“Galleta is an amazing dog. I truly hope she finds someone that will spoil her!”

We hope so too! Could that be you? Galleta was reportedly house and crate trained in her former home and was described as an affectionate pup who loves toys and car rides, is playful, and loves to stick close to her humans.

Galleta spent about a month in a foster home- here’s what her foster said:

“Galleta was a joy! This lovely girl has truly blossomed, revealing her playful, affectionate, and calm nature. She loves to play fetch, chew on toys, and go for walks. She has great leash manners even when she sees other dogs. Galleta doesn’t bark, travels calmly in the car, and is relaxed during grooming sessions. She also did wonderfully with our six-year-old, who adores her (and the feeling is mutual). Crowds and strangers don’t faze Galleta either; she recently joined us at the Tucson Jazz Festival, where she was a calm and friendly star!”

Galleta was housetrained in her foster home, loved to play with tennis balls and stuffed toys, and reportedly gives the best kisses! Her foster described her as obedient, smart, and low maintenance, saying “she has been such a pleasure to have in our home. We`ll miss her when she`s adopted, but we`re excited for her to find her forever home.”

Here`s what one of Galleta’s friends at the shelter said:

“Galleta is a sweet little lady. She is easy to handle, she doesn`t pull on her leash and she is non-reactive to other dogs she sees. She loves treats and takes them softly.”

Galleta shares her kennel with another PACC pup and would like to meet any future furry roommates before heading home to ensure a good fit. If you’re looking for a calm, sweet, and affectionate companion with excellent manners and a big heart, Galleta is ready to bring love and joy into your life! Ask about her today!
