Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Giselle is a highly intelligent and playful pup who is looking for her happily-ever-after. With an unparalleled joie de vivre, her body is perpetually wiggling with excitement as she hustles and bustles from one person to the next. Giselle already knows the commands Sit and Crate, as she has proven to be a very quick study. Quite impressive for 16 weeks old!
Giselle is a friendly girl who gets along with all… people, kids, and dogs. While she hasn’t been around the felines personally, all of her littermates have gone to homes with cats and all are doing very well. Giselle is crate trained, and is making progress on house training. She is already able to sleep through the night… phew! As she is still a young peanut, one can expect all of the antics that accompany heathen puppyhood (chewing, jumping, work on manners, work on training, leash manners, etc). Given the nature of this breed, an experienced and confident handler would be best suited.
Giselle is adoptable in the mid-Atlantic / southeast (FL, GA, NC, SC, VA). If you’re interested in adopting Giselle, please complete an adoption application at www.bigfluffydogs.com, and then email kim@bigfluffydogs.com. Thank you!
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
