Gaia's Story

Meet Gaia! The mother of our Greek Mythology Litter! She was found in the desert in a ditch with her little ones. She was brought to the imperial county pound where she and her babies were at risk for euthanasia. Luckily, Amazing Strays was able to step in with the help of a foster and saved the family! <br/><br/>Mama Gaia is learning to trust humans again. She is very fearful and avoids human touch. She is food motivated but still very skittish. With encouragement when on a leash she will allow for calm touches. She is still decompressing and realizing she's in a safe space. She has not been spayed yet as she's finally finished nursing her little ones so her doggy hormones are still heightened. <br/><br/>She deserves a calm foster home where she can learn to build trust and affection with her humans again. We believe she'd do best with older predictable kids while young children might make her nervous. She needs encouragement to go into her crate but once in there she'll sleep through the night. She does well with her current fosters 20 lb dog and would likely do well with other dogs once she's away from her puppies, she's still in protective mode. <br/><br/>Could you help Gaia become the loving companion she desperately wishes to be with the proper love and patience? Apply to foster or adopt her today!
