She is a Lab mix about 1 year old or less who i've named Gabby. My grandparents found her and wanted to keep her but realized that she is way too much dog for them. I might be getting her the end of this week so be looking out for a picture thread.

Wow, good luck! Let us know whatever interesting story behind her being found? Hope your 3 are agreeable to her joining. Oh, and hope she is OK with cats and the other critters.

She is ok with cats my grandmother has 3 cats and she gets along with them just fine. If they run from her she will chase them but not hurt them. My cats though aren't fearful of dogs so they shouldn't run from her. Well Gabby was abandoned in my grandmothers front yard i'm guessing. She had a rough places around her neck like someone took her collar off and she was a little bit underweight. She was fed by my grandmother and someone else down the road and she would go back and forth (major highway) she would sleep on my grandmothers front porch every night and in the morning go down the road and swim in the neighbors lake. My grandmother asked them if she belonged to them and they said no she just showed up one day. She also put an ad in the paper and looked for lost dog signs and ads in the paper but never found one. She then decided to keep her so she put her in her fenced in back yard. Lately she has gotten more used to her surroundings and started jumping up on my grandmother. She knocked her down onces and my grandmother has a bad knee so jumping on her hurts her knee. They still have their mini longhaired dachshund Hogan so they are happy. Gabby seems to get along with other dogs. I'm most worried about Maggie as she is very dominant but she does enjoy playing with playful submissive dogs which Gabby seems to be. I will have to see how it goes! My dogs are good and pretty much get along with everyone.
