Gila - Local Foster

Fill out an adoption form

Are you looking for an active dog who is also a top-notch snuggle? Gila is the guy for you! This sweetheart loves to play at the dog park, fetch the ball, take walks, and then curl up next to you on the couch. A dog lover’s dream!

This handsome boy adapted quickly to his foster home and is ready to live his best life. He is friends with Annie, his foster dog sister, and they play, nap, and watch the neighborhood together. Gila would love a home where there is another dog but could also be the only dog as long as he gets a lot of playtime with other dogs

Gila is brilliant and trainable. In a short time, he has learned down, stay, leave it, and come- including long-line recall. We have spent much time working on his leash manners, and he gets better daily.

He is shy when meeting new people but warms up quickly once he feels safe. Due to his shyness, a home with older children would be best.

If you want to add one of the sweetest dogs to your family, apply!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
