Gabriella is a petite young girl with a big personality and a very special story. She came to Dogs Trust as a mum, and after doing such a wonderful job raising her puppies, they have all now found loving homes. Its finally Gabriellas turn to find a family of her own! Gabriella has been through a lot in her young life, so meeting new people can feel a little scary at first. She may need some time to understand that she is safe and that she can trust the people around her. But once she has had the chance to warm up at her own pace, her wonderful personality begins to shine through. Before long, this once-worried girl becomes a wriggly, giddy bundle of fun who absolutely loves cuddles, attention and playtime! Gabriella also really enjoys the company of other dogs and could potentially live with a confident, friendly canine companion who can help her feel more secure as she settles into home life. Having a doggy friend to show her the ropes and join her for endless games could be a wonderful boost to her confidence. A secure garden will be essential for Gabriella while she learns to walk happily on lead. Her new family will need to be prepared to take this process slowly, allowing her to build confidence before expecting her to tackle the wider world. Gabriella is looking for a home with adults or older teens who will be patient, understanding and willing to let her set the pace. Her adopters will need to take the time to learn her body language, recognise when she is feeling unsure and support her gently as she adjusts to her new life. For Gabriella, the journey will be all about patience, trust and celebrating the little steps forward. In return, her new family will get to watch a beautiful young girl blossom into the happy, affectionate and playful companion she has been waiting to become. Gabriella has already given so much to others. Now she is ready for someone to give her the time, love and security she deserves.
