Meet Gigi!
Gigi is an intelligent, caring, and affectionate girl who loves to cuddle, stay active, and “talk” to her people. She’s full of personality and has so much love to give.
Gigi does have a few quirks—she can get a little anxious at times and isn’t a fan of loud noises or having her front paws touched. We’re not sure why. She originally belonged to a family member who abandoned her, and we took her in to give her the safety and love she deserves.
Gigi is wonderful with children and has the patience to match, but she also appreciates having her own space when she needs a break. Her crate is her comfort zone and safe spot. She’s a great listener and responds well to commands, especially when treats are involved. Her favorite snacks are freshly cut fruits and veggies that are safe for dogs.
This girl LOVES walks, hikes, and playing catch—especially with balls (she’s a little obsessed!). Gigi would thrive in an active family home with plenty of room to walk, run, and play.
