Gaia is the daughter of Mai Tai. They were brought to us in 2016 just after Mai Tai had given birth to a litter of pups. She had been someone’s pet, but they moved away leaving her and her new litter of pups locked in a garden with no food or water. Thankfully, a neighbor heard her and the pups crying and asked us to rescue them. Sadly, Mai Tai passed away in 2021, we think it was a cobra bite but are not 100% sure.
Gaia’s siblings, Mia, Karu (aka Foxy), and MacKaru still also live in the shelter. Gaia is in the same compound as Mia and the two sisters are very close! They also lived together with their Mum and both were really sad for a few weeks after she passed away. 💔
Gaia is a stunningly beautiful dog. Her coat is lovely and shiny and she has a gorgeous little face. She is a shy dog, much more coyer than her sister Mia, but when you gain her trust she loves a wee cuddle. She’s also a bouncer – she gets excited when you give her a wee cuddle and then bounces away from you and gets the zoomies then comes back for a little more and repeats! (super cute!)
She would need some time to build up trust with her new family but the effort you put in would be ever so worthwhile when you see her blossom and love you unconditionally at the end of it!
