Gigi is a 3-year-old APTB mix we rescued from HRA in DC at 9 months old. She’s incredibly loving, energetic, and thrives on long sniff walks, sunbathing, and quality time with her people. Gigi is spayed, healthy, and up to date on all vaccinations. She would do best in a home without young children or other animals, and with an experienced owner who can give her consistent structure, exercise, and affection.
