Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gabi is a 3-year-old miniature poodle weighing around 13 pounds. For the first years of her life, she was a breeder mama and is now looking forward to having a new home where she can be a family dog. Gabi has a unique look with one blue eye and one brown eye, and those eyes look at people with so much love saying I am ready to be yours. She is sweet, affectionate, and considered a huge snuggle bug. She is also timid/shy so will need some help with socialization and learning to trust. She is dog-friendly but sometimes gets nervous around people she does not know. She attaches herself to women and is slightly cautious around men. Once she bonds with “her person” she becomes very protective of her sometimes barking if others come near her. And her anxiety will come out when left alone or in unfamiliar scenarios. Her favorite activity is to follow her foster mother wherever she goes around the house. When her foster mother sits down in a chair Gabi gets up on her hind legs wanting to be petted or tries to get on her lap. If she is not able to because her foster mother needs to work, then Gabi lays quietly at her feet. Gabi's crate is her safe space and recommend leaving her crate door open while at home or away; she will go there to relax or, when alone, to sleep. She loves to sleep near your feet in bed, snuggles on the couch or playing with squeaky toys. She has a huge personality but needs someone with patience who can help build her confidence. Gabi’s perfect home is one that is quiet and has low energy. Needs to be only dog in the house – Recommended Needs to live with just adults or older children – YES due to Gabi’s fear/anxiety Potty-trained – YES Playful – YES Walks on a Leash – Is in the process of learning and understanding what to do (luckily is willing to try) Food motivated – YES (which helps with training) Does great in the car - YES Gabi’s adoption fee is $515 and covers all shots including rabies, dewormer, microchip, and spay. The average lifespan for this breed is 15 years. Therefore, Gabi’s adopter will need to be prepared to care for her for around 12 more years so she will not have to move to a different home again. She is currently being fostered in the Tampa area. ------------------ ***We are a foster-based rescue with no shelter or facility to view our dogs, and our address is a mailing address only.
