Gidget
Dogs: Gidget's looking to be your one and only
Cats: No cats for this girl
Kids: Yes
Meet Gidget, an Australian cattle dog and Dutch shepherd mix who lives for a wide-open yard, a good sprint, and a happy roll in the grass. She's bright, athletic, and blessed with genuinely lovely leash manners. Once she's yours, she's ALL yours.
Gidget is house-trained and easy to have around the home, content to curl up near her favorite person after a big day of running and playing. She's a herding breed through and through, so she wants exercise, a little mental work, and someone who enjoys keeping a clever dog busy. She's looking to be the only pet in the home, where all that attention is hers alone.
She takes her time warming up to new folks and does best in a calmer household where she can make friends at her own pace. But the person who wins Gidget's heart wins it for life. Come find out what that kind of loyalty feels like.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
