female, medium, adult
DESCRIPTION
Gabby is a 4-year-old Italian Greyhound mix who was surrendered through no fault of her own and is now looking for the loving home she deserves. Weighing around 35 pounds, she’s the perfect medium size—big enough for adventures, small enough for cozy cuddles.
This sweet, happy girl truly loves everyone she meets. She’s especially affectionate with her trusted people and will greet you with her signature full-body, enthusiastic butt wiggle that never fails to make you smile. Gabby thrives on connection and enjoys being close to her humans, whether that’s relaxing at home or heading out for a ride—car trips are one of her favorite things.
Gabby enjoys playing with her toys but is wonderfully well-mannered and doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t. She’s not much of a barker, making her an easy and peaceful companion in the home. She also loves spending time outdoors, soaking up the sights and fresh air.
She gets along well with other dogs when introduced slowly and respectfully, and she’s great with cats and kids, making her a fantastic fit for many types of families. Gabby is fully crate-trained, housebroken, and already knows her basic commands—she’s truly ready to settle right in.
If you’re looking to add a loving, social, and easygoing companion to your home, Gabby might just be your perfect match.

ABOUT: ITALIAN GREYHOUND DOG BREED
The Italian Greyhound is a small and elegant breed known for its slender build, gracefulness, and affectionate nature. These dogs are gentle, intelligent, and loyal companions that thrive on human companionship. They excel in agility and obedience activities, and their short coat requires minimal grooming. Despite their delicate appearance, Italian Greyhounds are surprisingly resilient and energetic, enjoying playful activities and romps in a secure outdoor area. Their loving personalities and expressive eyes make them a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a charming and devoted pet.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
