home for Gigi
Desperately looking to rehome our American Akita Garnet ( GiGi). She just turned 8 years old but is still young at heart! Because of the environment she brought up in before we received her it takes some time for her to adjust but once she does. She’s your furry shadow. A sweet dog that will protect her family no matter what. Because if certain situations we are unable to care for she the way she deserves and want her to find a family that will treat her right.
