Gidget's Story

Gidget is a total showstopper with a personality to match. This 50lb hound mix turns heads everywhere she goes with her beautiful white coat brushed with soft tan markings-an effortless, natural beauty. But she's not just a pretty face... Gidget is full of energy, curiosity, and a zest for life that makes every day more fun.<br/>She's the kind of dog who wants to see it all, sniff it all, and be part of everything you're doing. Adventures? Yes <br/>please. Walks? Even better. Exploring the world by your side? That's her dream. Gidget will thrive with an active family ready to channel her energy and continue helping her learn all the good things.<br/>With her bright spirit and inquisitive nature, Gidget brings excitement, companionship, and a whole lot of love. If you're looking for a stunning sidekick who will keep life interesting, Gidget is ready to go!<br/>**Hiker feedback: " I had Gidget. She is absolutely wonderful, super friendly and lovable. She did great on the trail and enjoyed the walk.. She also liked being near or next to another dog on the hiking trail. I noticed she really likes treats as well. She had great energy walking on the trails and pulled me up the hills a few times where I was struggling a little bit. Love that dog and would definitely take her on another hike.<br/>**Additional feedback: " She is so good with other dogs! She loves water - the clean and the dirty! She would be so fun to take on a full swimming adventure.<br/>*Gidget loves her kibble/treats, any time she was being a bit shy all we had to do was encourage her with some treats and she was ready to go. Since we couldn't go out too much in the heat, one of the ways she burned some energy inside was with a snuffle mat and she loved it. <br/><br/>Weekend Host Feedback: "Gidget is truly the sweetest thing and she is very intelligent. Likely she has had a hard life and is working on getting more comfortable/less scared of the world, but she is a real trooper. She is a sweet little soul and a great nap buddy!. <br/>Once she gets her energy out she doesn't pull on the leash as much. She likely doesn't have much experience on a leash. I'm sure as she keeps working on it will help her get more comfortable.<br/>She rides great in the car! . Her potty habits are good. No accidents and she goes to bathroom on walks!<br/>She ended up preferring being in my closet. She sleeps well in her little safe spaces.<br/>If it was feasible for me, I would 100% adopt her. "<br/><br/>Latest Host Feedback: "Gidget was very friendly towards other dogs. They seem to give her a confidence boost! We even had an instance where a loose dog ran up to her, but she stayed very calm, and we had no issues. She does get spooked by small children if they run at her. She was pretty good on leash! She stays pretty close to you on your left side. She only gives an occasional tug to keep you on your feet or when she gets spooked. Overall, she's a beautiful walker! She gets lots of compliments.<br/>She is perfect in the car, after a few minutes plops down and falls asleep. Never tried to get into the front seat (even when there was a pup cup present. Potty trained! No accidents in the house. She went on every walk! She even whines at the door when she needs to go. Very smart dog. She slept with me in my bed every night. Super good sleeper and loves to sleep in Absolutely no issues there. <br/>I think she's just looking for her girl best friend! While I was getting ready in the mornings, she would sit by my side and watch me do my makeup. She'll walk with you wherever but loves to bedrot and binge TV too. She's very intelligent and super quiet. So sweet, just a bit shy at first, which is expected. She seems like she comes from a tough background. I really, really enjoyed my time with her! If I had the time, I would totally make her mine. "

Saving Grace is a small, non-profit 501-C3 organization operated by volunteers only. Most of our animals come from rural animal control shelters where lack of space and resources limit their time and adoption possibilities. Thank you for choosing Saving Grace!
