Meet gigi

Say hello to Gigi! This adorable peach is bursting with love for people and isn't shy about showing it. With her perfect mix of snuggles and sass, she's ready to bring her special brand of enthusiasm to your home! What is this girls back story, you might ask? How did she end up in our care? Gigi came from the B ellwood area. She was forgotten, abandoned and left behind by a previous owner, unclaimed and unnamed. Left in a poorly funded animal control where she slowly lost her mind due to kennel stress, lack of natural sunlight and limited to only an hour or so of time out of her enclosure daily. These kennels although run by loving individuals were kept in an area with no windows, surrounded by 4 cold concrete walls. Gigi had a guardian angel that saw a sparkle in her eye and thus she made her way to redemption road. Here she started her journey towards a better story. Months have gone by and Gigi is thriving, such resiliency is remarkable. She is more than ready to be a part of an active household that can match her energy and provide consistent training. While she's definitely the "queen of the castle" type, she gets along wonderfully with more laid-back dogs who don't mind her being the boss, preferably males. She has made a few friends during her foster experience which only adds enrichment to her spirit. Gigi has seen some tough and rough days, but her spirit is strong and she is ready to be someone cuddle bug. The sunrise to your sunset, the peanut butter to your jelly, this girl could be all that and more. This spunky lady would do best with older, sturdier kids: ages 13 and older who can handle her boisterous play style. And quick note: Gigi has officially declared cats not on her friend list! The perfect home for this good girl will give her plenty of activity, consistent boundaries, and all the love her big heart deserves. Ready for a dog that's equal parts spirited and sweetness?
