Gothel, a striking 3-year-old, 60-pound black beauty, arrived at the Joint Animal Shelter with her litter of puppies.

Initially, she was understandably protective of her young ones.

However, after spending time in a nurturing foster environment, she has blossomed into a sweet and affectionate dog who thrives on human interaction and attention.

Once she feels safe and familiar with someone, she transforms into a loving companion, eager to shower you with kisses and lean in for cuddles.

Her playful and silly side shines through, bringing joy to those around her.

Due to her excitement, she can become mouthy, so a home without small children would be ideal to appreciate her energy fully.

Gothel is ready to embark on the next chapter of her life—one filled with trust, love, and a family who will reciprocate the devotion she gave to her puppies.

Come meet Gothel and find out if you're a good fit. Call Joint Animal Services at 360-352-2510.  Her Animal number is 59710822.
