Meet Gabriella — a bright, happy little companion with a playful spirit and a whole lot of charm. This 4-year-old Shih Tzu/Pomeranian mix is the perfect blend of affectionate and independent. She loves being around people, greets everyone with enthusiasm, and is wonderful with kids, men, women, and new friends alike.
Gabriella is a well-mannered girl who already knows her basic commands like sit, stay, come, down, and leave it. She’s fully house-trained, crate-trained (though she prefers the freedom of an open door), walks nicely on leash, and rides calmly in the car. She can also be left home alone without issue, making her an easy fit for many lifestyles.
Playful and active, Gabriella enjoys spending time with other dogs and will happily join in on games. She does have a bit of a “food bubble” and prefers to eat without other dogs nearby, so a home that can offer her a little space during mealtime will help her feel comfortable and relaxed. She may also be selective about certain dog personalities, but with the right match, she enjoys canine companionship.
At home, Gabriella loves cozy spots — whether that’s her crate or your couch — and she settles in wherever she feels most at ease. She may bark occasionally and has been known to indulge in a little digging, but overall she’s a well-balanced, joyful companion.
If you’re looking for a friendly, fun-loving dog who already has great manners and lots of love to give, Gabriella just might be your perfect match.
