Hi there! I`m Gabby, an eight-year-old toy poodle with a youthful spirit, an easygoing attitude, and some surprisingly impressive acrobatic skills. My best friend Gracie and I were found together and spent three months at Animal Ark before heading into foster care. We`re a bonded pair, so we`re looking for one special home where we can stay together.Don`t let my age fool you! I have plenty of pep left in my step, especially when it`s time to play. I`m an agile little lady who can leap between couches and chairs like a mountain goat. My favorite place to relax? The back headrest of the couch, where I can snooze in style. I enjoy soft toys, butt rubs, and a good play session when you`re in the mood. Long walks and wet grass? I`ll pass, thanks!I`m a pretty independent girl. I`m happy to hang out near you without demanding your attention every minute, and I`m generally a confident, go-with-the-flow kind of dog. But when my favorite human comes home, get ready for my happy dance! I march my front paws, flash what looks suspiciously like a smile, and add a very enthusiastic bark to the celebration. I may also sometimes bark at passersby, so apartment living with close neighbors might not be the best fit.I have vision in just one eye, but I navigate my world quite well. Gracie and I follow our foster mom from room to room like a pair of little ducklings. Just watch your step, because we sometimes get underfoot! I may occasionally be startled if someone approaches from my left, so a little extra awareness goes a long way.I`m still working on perfecting my potty-training skills. I`m making good progress with training pads, although I still have an occasional accident. I`ll do best with a patient family who can keep me on a routine. Gracie and I are two peas in a pod, even if we`re very different peas. We`d do best in a quieter home with gentle, considerate people and plenty of cozy places to nap. If you`re looking for a sweet, low-key companion duo with a little playful sparkle, we`d love to meet you! Submit an adoption application to arrange a meet-and-greet. I can`t wait to find our forever home together!
