Dog was dumped at cemetery ‘but her story didn’t end there.’ Now she needs a home
A dog who could melt hearts with just one shy glance is on the lookout for a home in Philadelphia.
Gidget, a 1-year-old pup, had a rocky start in life, but after noticing her foster mother in an unusual place, her world flipped for the better.
“Gidget was found abandoned in a cemetery, but her story didn’t end there,” the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said in an April 29 Facebook post.
According to the terrier and pit bull mix’s profile page, Gidget is a curious girl who ended up following her foster mother home.
And she also has a tail that “never stops wagging.”
“Since living in her foster home, she’s shown us just how much love she has to give. Gidget is a gentle soul,” the shelter said. “She can be a little shy at first, but with a soft voice and a few tasty treats, she opens up, and when she does, she melts right into you. She’s learned what it means to feel safe, to trust again, and to just be a dog.”
Gidget’s habits and likes, per her profile, include:
Loves playtime with other dogs
Have treats? You’ll be her best friend
Cozy beds
Toys!
