In May, 2025, we received a request from a man to take in a litter of pups that his female dog had delivered. We not only took those pups in, we also arraigned for the owner to have his dog spay and at no cost to him. But he never took advantage of that offer nor did he contact us until his dog had a second litter just four months after the first litter. One condition to us taking in this  second litter was that Scott Bennett would personally take the mom of the two litters to the vet to have her spay. From the second litter comes Gilda.

Gilda is almost an identical twin to her sister, Grazie, just slightly smaller with a more rounded snout. She is also very sweet, personable and playful and will make an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a young puppy into their home. Despite being the runt of the litter, she has a very large personality and has established herself as the "alpha" of this pack.

Gilda will have received 2/3 of her first-year "puppy" vaccines by Oct. Oct. 10 and will still have her final vaccine due on October 31st. She has already been de-wormed, treated against parasites and started on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. She's still too young to receive her rabies vaccine and her adopter should obtain that after she turns 3 months old. Her adopter will have to agree to having Gilda spay once she reaches 6 months of age and provide verification of such to our rescue. Gilda will require all of her basic training.
