Meet An Adoptable Dog
My Story
Reason for being in rescue: Gabby was surrendered by her owners to a rural NC shelter. Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled her from the shelter.
Special Needs: Gabby is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. On 06/27/25 Gabby had a dental polishing. During her spay surgery she also had 2 inguinal hernias removed.
What kind of home would be best for me: Gabby is a dog that lives life on her terms. Is she cute - absolutely. Does she know it - undoubtedly. Will she make you work for it - every day! Gabby is looking for a home where the food is plenty and the beds are cozy. If you're looking for a dog that wants to be on our near you all the time, this is not your girl. She has a fiercely independent spirit.
Gabby has always lived with other dogs but could honestly care less. She is all about those soft beds. She totally understands if you work outside the home - she'll be ready for some love when you get home. Kids could be okay, but only if they are older and will respect her boundaries.
What is my personality like: Meet Gabby — a beautiful little Yorkie queen who lives life strictly on her terms. Gabby is a certified snack hoarder - stashing treats like she's prepping for a long winter (even though dinner is definitely coming). Sharing - Not her thing. She's got boundaries, okay!
Gabby is an independent sort of gal who lets foster mom do her thing while she does hers — usually from the comfort of one (or two) soft, cozy beds. Gabby enjoys attention… but only when she asks for it. Until then, she’s happily ruling her little kingdom in peace.
How do I act when I first meet new people: Gabby can be a little aloof. It isn't that she minds, it just depends on her mood. She's a little diva in training!
Tips and Tidbits: Gabby is estimated at 9 years old. We celebrate her birthday 05/08/2016.
House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
Potential Adopters
Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.
Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
