Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Gigi, I am the most loveable happy go lucky dog there is. I am a female Bichon/Poodle mix thats is 13.5lbs and about 4yrs old. I am super sweet and just love everyone from men, women and kids. My tail is going non-stop to get your attention!! I just love hanging with my human family, sniffing around the yard, going for walks and getting dotted on. I have a super sweet temperment. I get along great with smaller dogs to dogs just a tad bit bigger then me, I have not been around large breed dogs but I am so laid back I probable wouldn't care.
I get along with my foster mom's outside cat but for some reason I want to chase the ones in the house, we think it is because of my puppy that I may be doing this.
Yes you heard right, I came into rescue pregnant and had to have an emergency c-section to deliver my puppies who were much to large for me to deliver. Sadly because I was a stray and everything else I went thru, I lost my first born.
My son is beautiful and I am the best Mom in the world. He is almost as large as I am and will be a big boy. With everything that has been going on in my life I have never shown a mean bone in my body either!! My son is on his way to being weaned and he already has a forever home waiting for him. No I am looking for my perfect, loving forever home.
I am housebroken but there has been someone home to take me out, I have never been tested for real long periods of time, I could be great I might need help.
I am crate trained.

*** Please be patient, we are a very small organization and we all sadly have to work and have families just like you. We also know the excitement of finding a pet that could be your furever family member and we receive numerous inquiries
from other families who feel the same way. Our primary goal is matching the perfect family with our pups and do not practice first come, first serve. We are setting up many meet and greets with our pups and the family could be found prior to you even getting to meet them. We will make sure all potential adopters who inquired are updated if the pup has been adopted. We do not want to waste anyone's time and recommend you keep looking while you wait to hear from us and as always Thank You for adopting and not shopping. ***
Adoption applications will be sent via email only, we do not have them posted online anywhere or on a website.
