SITS is a non-profit, volunteer-run animal rescue that welcomes injured, abandoned, abused, neglected, or otherwise forgotten dogs—the underdogs—with open arms.

Meet our longest resident.

Spayed female
Boxer mix

Let’s address the elephant (dog?) in the room.
Gaia has a rare condition known as RBF:
 Resting Beautiful Face.

This means that although Gaia's side-eye may be dramatic, her cuddles most certainly are not. Underneath that serious exterior is a marshmallow. A soft, sweet, picnic-loving, sunset-chasing, world-champ-cuddling, goofy-as-all-heck marshmallow.

She’s into all the regular ol' dog things: zoomies, frequent belly rubs, and car rides with the windows down. Gaia doesn’t need much—just a human or two to love, a cozy spot for naps, and literally zero cats. Like none. Not even a cat figurine. Gaia has made it clear that cats = suspicious gremlins. (And honestly, we get that.)

Gaia was saved from animal control in February 2024 when she and her four puppies faced euthanasia for space. All of her babies found homes before spring rolled around that year, but Gaia is still patiently waiting.

She listens well, learns fast, and loves hard—once you’re in, you’re in. She’d be perfect for a family or a solo human, and wouldn't mind a dog sibling who matches her “peaceful but playful” vibe. Gaia is fully vetted and already has her bags packed to go just hoping
 paw you'll take a chance on the dog with a serious face and a silly heart.
