Gala Photo Gallery

Adopted October 2005 Gala was a black/tan, spayed, female German Shepherd Dog puppy. Gala was born on April 21, 2005. This little lady was purchased to be a pet and then the man determined that he didn't have time for her. So at the ripe age of 17 weeks she was left at a shelter. She was very active and liked to jump around and play. She still had needle sharp little puppy toes and teeth. A check-up at the vet regarding her heart, hips, ears and the like all turned out well.

A special thank you to Gala's sponsor: Jeanette Andrews.
