‘Girl’s girl’ shelter pup doesn’t want to be around men — but loves women. Meet Gordita
A very wiggly, happy pup at a Pennsylvania shelter has a peculiar rule when it comes to potential future owners — no men allowed.
Gordita, a 2-year-old Australian shepherd mix, appears to be all smiles and excitement in a Facebook video that was posted by the Central PA Humane Society in Altoona, but it’s just because, well, she trusts the human walking her because she isn’t of the more masculine gender.
“Gordita is a girl’s girl. She loves women. She is standoffish with males. She hasn’t found the right guy that allows her to let her guard down,” the shelter said in a Nov. 13 post.
Not only does she prefer the company of women, but she also prefers to not be alone, and suffers from anxiety when left and will sometimes disappear.
“She doesn’t care to be alone. She can be a Houdini at times,” the shelter added.
Her pet profile says that because of this, she doesn’t handle being crated very well, and a family who is familiar with her particular breed would be ideal.
Also, if the family has older children, that would be peachy.
“She does like other dogs but living with them has presented some guarding behavior on Gordita’s end,” the shelter said. “Perhaps she can be dog social but be the only dog in the home. However she can live with cats. Older children 10-12 years will probably be best for her especially if they are boys.”

Altoona is about a 95-mile drive east from Pittsburgh.
