She had us with those baby blues. Baby blues that pulled us right in to a sweet pup learning all about the world. Meet Gisele! She has a kind heart with just a touch of mischief. What puppy doesn’t. But lucky for her she’s in an amazing foster home teaching her all the things she needs to be a wonderful adult dog. Giselle is a lover of life and all the good things life brings. Fun canine buddies, adventure time outside, playing, people, cuddles she loves it all! She’s a good girl who with just a touch of puppy guidance is going to be amazing!
As happy and enthusiastic about life as Giselle is life hasn’t always treated her kindly. Gisele was abandonded by her owners when they moved out of their apt in Bakersfield. The building manager found her in the back yard with a wound on her foot. She was abandoned, alone and unwanted. Just a baby left to fend for herself. Thankfully the manager fed her for 3 days and reached out for help. One of our amazing foster families stepped up and Giselle got the help she desperately needed.
Giselle has never looked back embracing foster life fully. She’s wonderful with other dogs. Respectful with the seniors and those less willing to play and playful with the dogs who welcome the fun. She loves outside time and will run around the yard, dig up gopher holes and play endless games of chase. When inside she’s pretty chill and content to hang out on the sofa next to her people. Because she is young and still learning manners she can be a little mouthy when excited but easily corrects. She still searches for and finds objects on the floor to play with but will drop them on request. She occasionally chews items but is also very receptive to stopping with feedback. She currently lives with dog savvy cats and has done well but would absolutely chase if the cats were to run. We’d consider her cat friendly with continued supervision as she can still get excited with the kitties. Giselle is working on her house training and is crate trained. She’ll need more work on her recall and leash skills. She’d do great with older respectful children and rides perfectly in the car. This sweet girl is ready to find a family to love could that family be you?
Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley’s Mutts:
- Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
- Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
- All pets will be spayed or neutered
- All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
- Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
