UPDATE

Gidget is currently being fostered in NJ, Lawrenceville area. Gidget and her sister Ghetti are fostered together, but they don't have to be adopted as a pair. Gidget is more shy, but if you gained her trust, she will come out of her shell. We think for Gidget the perfect home would have another dog to guide her and show her the beauty of the world. She does go outside in the backyard with her sister to play and run around, in fact she looks up to her for guidance and follows her. Gidget would do best with older, calmer dogs, maybe even a senior dog. All she needs is some guidance to rely on when the world gets to scary for her. Gidget is housetrained, crate trained and walks on a leash alongside her sister. The current foster has a fenced in yard which she loves to explore and run around.

Gidget and her five sisters had been abandoned at a dumpster site and found by a Wheeler Co sanitation worker. The young pups, approximately 3 months old at the time, were terrified, hungry and very much in need of some help.. While all six were extremely wary of the sanitation worker, he was able to gather them all up and took them to his home. The sanitation worker then contacted SoCo Rescue seeking help for the pups. When Scott Bennett went to meet the pups, he was horrified at not only the living conditions of the pups- a makeshift, very unclean and muddy outdoor kennel area, he knew that one of the pups, actually Gidget, was very close to dying if she didn't receive immediate help.The sanitation worker explained that the kennel hadn't been used in "a long time" and was the only place that he had to keep the pups until help could be found. The man also said his work schedule limited his time to feed the pups to only once a day. 

Despite being very crowded at the rescue, Scott took Gidget and one of her sisters with him. Over the next week, Scott took on the responsibility of making sure the remaining four pups were fed, watered and had their living area cleaned twice a day. He also began administering de-wormers, vaccinations and other much needed medications. After about a week, the four remaining pups were reunited with their two sisters at SoCo Rescue.

Despite being very thin and weak, Gidget made a full recovery. And don't think for one second that she didn't appreciate the love and help that she received. She remains a very sweet girl, a little shy at first, but always eager to become friends with those she meets. Just as she did when her life hung in the balance, Gidget just needs someone to truly love her, give her time and understanding while she learns she can trust you and she'll repay your kindness with so much love! .

Gidget has now received her annual vaccinations, been de-wormed and treated against parasites, started on her monthly preventatives  a well as being spayed. She will require all of her training, including house training.
