About Me
Meet Gelsey
Status: Fostered
Estimated Age: 4-5 Years
Estimated Weight: 33 Pounds
UPDATE - 6 MAY 2023: Gelsey has been making great progress at her foster home. Here is what her foster mom has to say about her:
- She learned how to use the dog door about 5 minutes after she came into my house. I tried to put her in a crate one evening and she was having none of it - she now sleeps on the bed with Steve and Edie (photo attached).
- She is getting much better walking on a leash, and she has stayed in her first hotel (with an elevator ride!). She was great on a long car ride with her foster brother and sister.
- She has gotten much more confident and now enjoys evening wrestling matches with Steve.
- She can still be a little skittish; however, if you let her come to you on her terms, she will nestle in - when she sees Steve and Edie coming to me to give kisses, she gets right in there with them.
- I feed her in a different room than the others so she has a chance to get to her food.
- When we had the big rain storms, she had a few accidents but, in general, housetraining has been successful.
UPDATE - 18 MARCH 2023: Good news for Gelsey - she found a foster home today! We will be learning more about this sweet girl soon.
UPDATE - 30 DECEMBER 2022 (from kennel manager): This girl is a little on the shy side and would benefit from a foster home or a home with someone that is experienced with a shy dog. She’s friendly but nervous and good with other dogs. She’s been with us for a while, so we hope to find a place for her soon.
NEW - 25 AUGUST 2022: Gelsey is a taller beagle girl (maybe some hound in there?) who gets along with other dogs but can be a little submissive with humans. She was a stray from the Caroline County Animal Shelter in Virginia, so her history is unknown. She has completed her heartworm treatment and is now available for fostering or adoption.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
