About Gala
Graceful, gentle, and full of quiet confidence, this little lady has a heart as lovely as her flowing coat. She’s deeply affectionate and forms strong bonds with her people, often staying close and soaking up attention. She tends to be a bit more socially intuitive—curious about new faces while still keeping her dignity. Playful, loving, and wonderfully loyal, she brings warmth, charm, and just the right amount of sass to every day. A true little queen with a loving soul. Absolutely loves her small humans. 💕
