Gaby is out here ✨spreading joy✨ Gaby has been doing FANTASTICALLY since your help a few months ago! She’s grown to be healthy and happy. So happy, in fact, that Gaby’s now a therapy dog for seniors in assisted living. As you can see, sometimes she causes tears of joy ❤️🩹
This is Gaby. She was abandoned in the scorching heat of a California desert with a severe neurological condition. She's in dire need of immediate hospitalization and treatment. You can help us save her and give her the life she deserves below ❤️🩹 https://t.co/OkCBvJa40C
