My Story

Hi there! I’m Isabel, and I’m finally ready to find the forever family I’ve been waiting for. ❤️

You may remember me as one of GPRA’s 2025 Thanksgiving Match stories. I came into rescue when I was just 3 months old with a heart condition called Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). My heart murmur was graded a 6 out of 6 and I’ve been through two heart surgeries. It wasn’t always easy, but I had an amazing team cheering me on every step of the way.

The best part? My heart has healed beautifully! My doctors expect me to live a normal, happy life with a full life expectancy. Now it’s time for the happiest chapter of all… finding my forever family.

These days, I’m living in an incredible foster home with a whole pack of dogs, and I’ve discovered that having canine friends is one of my favorite things in the world. I absolutely thrive with another dog around, so I’m looking for a home that already has a friendly dog who can be my best buddy.

When I’m not hanging out with my furry friends, you’ll usually find me asking for cuddles. I’m affectionate, friendly, and happiest when I’m close to my people. Whether we’re relaxing on the couch, hanging out in the yard, or simply spending time together, I’m just grateful to be included.

I’ve come so far from the tiny puppy who needed a second chance. Now all I need is someone to believe in me one more time and give me the forever home I’ve been dreaming about.

Could that be with you? I promise to love you with my whole heart… and thanks to my amazing doctors, it’s a very healthy heart now. ❤️

My Story

Hi there! My name is Merida. 💕

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle girl with a playful side and a heart that’s ready to bloom, I just might be your perfect match.

I’ll admit it — I can be a little shy when meeting new people. New faces make me cautious, and I prefer to approach strangers on my own terms and in my own time. But once I feel safe and comfortable, you’ll discover a happy, loving girl who has come such a long way.

My foster mom says I’ve made incredible progress over the last few months, both socially and emotionally. Every day I become a little more confident and a little more comfortable with the world around me.

One of my favorite things is spending time with other dogs. I absolutely love having canine friends around! You’ll often find me happily romping with them, tossing toys for myself, or lounging in the yard while they run around nearby. I don’t need to be the center of attention—I just enjoy being part of the fun. Because of this, I’d love a forever home with another gentle, playful dog who can be my buddy and help continue building my confidence.

I’m house-trained, know how to use a doggy door, respect fences, and can be left home alone without causing any trouble. I don’t guard my food, toys, or treats, and I enjoy sharing space with my furry friends. I’m also an average barker, don’t counter surf, and have never had an accident in my foster home.

While I’m not especially food-motivated, I do enjoy tasty chews like salmon sticks, cow ears, and pizzles. I also have a funny little habit of tossing toys for myself and then chasing after them. My foster mom says it’s one of the many things that makes me special.

I can be a little uncertain about some things. Baths aren’t exactly my favorite, and car rides aren’t at the top of my list either, but I handle them the best I can and settle down quickly. When something makes me uncomfortable, I tend to freeze rather than react, because I’m a sensitive girl who is still learning that new experiences can be okay.

My foster mom says one of the sweetest things about me is the way I show happiness. I don’t always wag my tail, but you’ll know I’m excited by my big smile, bright eyes, happy little whimpers, and the way I gently paw at people I love. 💕

I may not be the dog who rushes up to greet every stranger, but if you’re willing to give me a little patience and time, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, gentle companion who is ready to spend the rest of her life by your side.

Could I be the missing piece in your family? 🐾
