With time, care, and patience, she has regained both her physical health and emotional balance.<br/><br/>She is naturally cautious at first, but once trust is built, Gaia becomes deeply loyal and quietly affectionate. Offer her a treat, and she will happily follow you from room to room, content just to be near you.<br/><br/>🩺 Health & Care<br/>• Overall healthy with no known medical concerns<br/>• Preventatives: Heartgard and Frontline (15th of each month)<br/>• No known allergies<br/>• Eats balanced kibble and loves meat-based treats<br/><br/>🌿 Personality<br/>Gaia is calm, gentle, and emotionally steady.

On weekends, she enjoys peaceful walks or calm outdoor time with other dogs.<br/><br/>🏠 Ideal Home<br/>Gaia will thrive with adopters who:<br/>💚 Value calm companionship over constant attention<br/>💚 Are patient and allow her to open up at her own pace<br/>💚 Can provide a quiet, stable routine<br/>💚 Have another friendly, well-mannered dog (strongly preferred)<br/><br/>🚫 Not the Best Fit For<br/>• Loud, chaotic, or unpredictable households<br/>• Families seeking a high-energy or clingy lap dog<br/><br/>📏 Measurements<br/>• Neck: 44 cm<br/>• Chest: 62 cm<br/><br/>💬 Why Gaia<br/>Gaia is a quiet survivor with a deeply gentle heart. She embodies the calm, loyal spirit of a Jindo-type dog—soft-spoken, observant, and profoundly devoted once trust is earned.<br/><br/>She asks for very little and gives back steady companionship, peace, and quiet love. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, kind-hearted dog to share a calm life with, Gaia may be your perfect match.

Application: Complete the adoption application (with photos and brief descriptions of past or current pets): https://forms.gle/9vBTeT7Dd99dZX627 2. Interview: If there is a potential match, we schedule a ~30-minute interview to learn more about your household, lifestyle, and expectations. 3. Home Check + References: A virtual or in-person home check and reference verification are conducted to ensure a safe and appropriate environment. 4. Two-Week Trial: A two-week trial period begins upon placement. Daily updates (brief text + photo/video) are required to monitor adjustment, safety, and decompression. Trial extensions may be granted if needed. 5. Finalization: After a successful trial, we finalize adoption. The adoption agreement is reviewed and signed, the adoption fee is paid, and medical records are transferred. 6. Veterinary Requirements: Adopters agree to maintain routine veterinary care, obtain Lyme vaccination when recommended by local veterinarians, and continue monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. 7. Registration & Safety: Adopters agree to register the dog with municipal licensing and a national microchip registry (ex: Free Pet Chip Registry). Appropriate safety equipment (GPS tracker, martingale collar, harness) must be used. A photo of the equipment and feeding setup must be provided during the trial period. Post-Adoption Support: Our rescue provides continued support for behavior, health, training, decompression, and transition. For urgent concerns, text Kseniya Freda — (617) 901-7097. Communication: Please note all Never Alone Animal Rescue team members volunteer while balancing full-time employment. Response time may vary; please allow several days for follow-up.
