A staff member writes: Gesture may take a day or two to warm up to people, but there’s not a person she’s gotten to know that doesn’t adore her! This pretty blue girl has the widest smile you’ll ever see and a personality to match. She lights up any room she walks into, and this big sweetheart would be a huge addition to any family that would have her. Bringing this sweet girl into your home is the kindest gesture you can make!

Another staff member writes: I think every adopter’s dream is to meet a dog who falls in love with them immediately–I’m talking kisses, affection, lots of joy and cuddling, the kind of dog you know you won’t be able to leave without bringing her home with you. Well, Gesture is that dog. The moment I had her on her leash and we were headed out for our walk, Gesture was more interested in me than she was in walking! She certainly knows how to make friends, plus she knows how to sit nicely for treats, and her soft coat is absolutely made for cuddling and petting. Please come and see Gesture and I guarantee you won’t want to leave without her.

Gesture came into the shelter as a stray, so her past behaviors in a home are unknown. Upon intake it was reported Gesture was nervous and tense she allowed all handling. During SAFER Gesture came into the assessment room friendly and loose she was social towards the assessor. She allowed all handling items to be conducted without issue. Gesture was relaxed during the tag interaction, and during the resource portion of the assessment. Gesture was easy to handle when engaged with the item. Gesture appears to be sociable, and did not display any behavior concerns, so the department feels she can be suitable for an “Average” adopter. Look: 1.
