About Gaia
Meet Gaia, a senior female dog with a heart full of love and a whisper-quiet bark that adds to her charm! This medium-sized gal is a relaxed, cuddly companion who thrives on human affection, preferring people over other animals, though she’s open to making friends with the right dogs or cats. Gaia is potty-trained, loves to cuddle 24/7, and can adapt to enjoy her own space with time. While she may need a little while to adjust to new environments, her sweet and gentle nature makes her an ideal match for a calm, loving household seeking a loyal, low-energy friend.
Characteristics
Loving & Affectionate: Gaia craves cuddles and forms deep bonds with her people.
Quiet & Gentle: Her whisper-like bark makes her a peaceful companion.
Relaxed & Adaptable: Loves constant cuddles but can learn to enjoy her own space.

Health and Care
Gaia is spayed, and her adoption includes a microchip with registration. While her vaccination status is not fully confirmed, Polk County Bully Project ensures all animals receive necessary care before adoption. A vet check in September 2025 indicates she’s in good health for her age, with no major issues reported. Gaia is potty-trained, though her house-training status in new environments may require confirmation and slight adjustment.
Gaia’s Story
Gaia, a senior dog with a medium build, was found dumped in the middle of nowhere after being used for breeding and then abandoned. She arrived at the Polk County Bully Project in Lakeland, FL, ready to find a loving home for her golden years. Her whisper-quiet bark and love for 24/7 cuddles make her a delightful companion who brings warmth to any space. While she prefers human company, Gaia is open to sharing her home with the right dog or cat, provided introductions are slow and thoughtful. Her relaxed demeanor and potty-trained habits make her an easy fit for a calm household, though she may need time to settle into new environments.
Gaia’s sweet and patient nature shines through as she transitions from cautious to cuddly, learning to enjoy her own space while still cherishing close moments with her people. As a senior, her journey is about finding a family who will treasure her gentle, loving heart and give her the cozy, affectionate home she craves. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch or quietly chatting with her soft bark, Gaia is ready to bring joy and loyalty to her forever family.
Ideal Home
Gaia would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can soak up affection and enjoy a relaxed lifestyle. A secure apartment or home with a small, fenced yard is ideal for her medium size and low-energy needs. She’s great with adults and children, making her suitable for families, but her compatibility with other pets requires careful introductions. Owners who appreciate a quiet, cuddly senior and can provide patience as she adjusts to new surroundings will find Gaia to be the sweetest companion. A suburban or urban setting in Lakeland or nearby will make her golden years truly special.
