Description:
Meet Gabbie!

Gabbie has had a "ruff" life. Gabbie and her siblings were taken away from their owner due to neglect. They all had mange, had lost their hair and were emaciated. Fortunately these poor dogs were rescued from that terrible life. Due to the horrid conditions and poor nutrition, Gabbie has lost many of her front teeth.

Gabbie's siblings have all gone to their forever homes. Now all that's left is poor Gabbie. She can't understand why she has not had her turn to find her forever family. Gabbie has been in rescue for quite a while. Her original rescue has asked for help from MARS to find her a home.

Gabbie is one of the sweetest most loving girls you could meet. She likes to give hugs and loves belly rubs and LOTS of attention. So she is just praying for a family that will be able to give her those things!!

Can you help this poor girl in need? She'd love you forever!

UPDATE FROM GABBIE'S FOSTER: Gabbie is an absolute sweet heart! She is getting along fine with my two large dogs, she growled a little the first night but my younger one comes on pretty strong. She actually played a little with them this morning, so that was good to see.

The emergency foster that had her one night said she got along wonderful with his two young boys (I’d guess in the 6 & 10 year old range). Haven’t seen her with any cats.

She LOVES rawhides and treats, when she gets a rawhide she just lays down on the spot and doesn’t move until it’s gone. So her loss of some front teeth isn’t holding her back at all – she’s eating hard food.

If you walk by where she’s laying and make any eye contact she will roll over and wait for a belly rub.

There have been absolutely no accidents in the house – I kenneled her yesterday while I was at work, but left her out last night. I even felt brave enough to leave her out today, but I really don’t expect any messes.

I have a chair that I let dogs lay on and she found that right away. She was laying in it last night while I was watching TV and snoring away!

Gabbie would be perfect for a first time dog owner – she would love to take a walk, but certainly doesn’t require one. She is a snuggle bunny, already house trained and just loves to be by you. She’d be fine with another dog, but I think Gabbie would adore being the only canine in the house so she can get all the love!
