Female Dog, Labrador Retriever
Labrador Retriever / American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Meet Gilley (short for Gillian), one of Save the Strays' long-term residents. At 9 years young, Gilley still has a lot of pep in her step. She goes absolutely crazy for toys and can destroy most of them within 5 minutes. Although she enjoys a good romp in the yard, she's also quite happy to just hang out, get a belly rub and take a nap at your feet. Because Gilley has been here so long (since 2018) she won't be a "plug and play" adoption. She’s lived in a rural environment with one woman and very few visitors, so she'll definitely need time to adjust to a new home and adopter(s). She's nervous outside of her current home environment, so should be introduced to new sights, sounds and people in small doses. Gilley’s also initially a little uncertain around other dogs, especially if they’re also nervous or too forward. She will play with them once she's comfortable with them. But we think she would be most comfortable in a quiet home with one or two adults where she’s either the only dog or there's only one other laid-back dog of similar size. If you're someone who has a heart for the "underdog" and can give Gilley time, space and understanding to let her relax and adjust, you might be pleasantly surprised at the result. Once she knows you, she's incredibly loyal and gives and receives affection freely. Gilley's adoption fee is $200. For more information or an application, email us at [email protected].
