Gabbie was surrendered to MAESSR when her Virginia owner joined the military. He had given Gabbie to his mother, but her health issues would not enable her to care for this sweetie. A 22 pound cuddle bug, Gabbie is possibly a Springer mix due to her small size, but her markings make her look like a Springer. Her small size is definitely a plus. She adores people and likes to snuggle up next to them on the couch or their lap. While perched on her person’s lap, she will occasionally decide to guard this prized position against any canine interlopers. Gabbie is easily redirected so she stops this activity. She is a good companion on car rides since she loves to go for a drive and is an excellent passenger.
Gabbie can be a bit picky about with which dogs she will get along. She does best with males, but also gets along with more mellow females. Her foster mom feels that she can be trained not to act unpleasantly towards dogs she does not like. Gabbie is currently living in a home with about twenty other dogs and they get along great for the most part. She occasionally will grumble at the other dogs, but they pretty much ignore her.
This little gal really just wants to be loved and to love her people. If you love to sit on the couch with a furry friend next to you, Gabbie is a fantastic cuddler!
