Hi there! Gillian here.
I'm a shy girl with a big heart who just needs a patient human to see past my nervous shell—once you do, you'll find a gentle soul worth every bit of effort.
I'm the calm one (it's in writing). A quiet home and a patient hand and I'm yours.
I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and the occasional zoomie) saved up for the right person.
I've been holding down the fort in Olalla, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Labor Day could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Gillian

About Gillian
Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog. Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites. This dog came to us via an eastern WA shelter after being taken from a property with about 45 dogs on it. They only knew that place so have been shy initially in new places and with new people. Please expect this if considering one of these dogs/puppies. Her coat does not need to be cut like a hair dog but we did it to when she came in to start her over with a fresh start due to her unkept coat. Her coat is a medium length mix of a flully and scruffy. There were a lot of scruffy terriers on the property but her color resembles a lhasa mix but is likely just the coat color she ended up with in that huge mix of heinz 57 small breed mixes. She is a shy but gentle girl. She will thrive with a quieter home and someone who will continue to make her feel safe and well cared for. She was great for the groomer and vet staff too. Loudness and chaos scares her. Since she won't readily go up to people, she must be leashed outside and often inside. She will stay just out of reach. It will be a journey and only time and consistency will do the trick. Keeping her safe until she reaches a safe spot with you is mandatory for success. If you can continue to shower her with love, kindness, training and all she needs and deserves, please submit our adoption application to get the process started. Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.
