My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FOSTERED IN COUNCIL BLUFFS/Omaha

Name - Gigi - Spayed Female
Age - around 1
Breed - Mini Aussie
What was your life before NDCB - I came from a breeding farm with 40+ dogs
Who is your Main caretaker/favorite person now? My favorite person is my foster dad. I let him pick me up an will sit in his lap. I am nervous with my foster mom, I run from her. I will give her kisses on the hand.
Are you good with kids? What ages? I peed a lot in the house when kids under 12 were here for the holidays. I liked the 14yr & 18 yr old. So older kids are good. Nothing under 12 please.
Are you good with other dogs? My favorite buddy is a 1 1/2 yr old black lab, we play a lot together. I am not a fan of the 13 yr old female Doberman.
Are you good with cats? In the beginning I growled and barked, but now they dont phase me.
Are you house broken? What is your potty routine? I have a few accidents in the house. When I get nervous I tend to have more. I sleep at night in my kennel so first thing in the morning then right after I eat breakfast.
Do you like car rides? I dont whine or bark. I rather be in the kennel in the car then just in the back seat.
Do you like walks? Not yet, I just want to chew the harness off. It got super cold and couldn't practice a lot.
Do you like toys? Yes, I love the tough hides, and the soft plush toys. I also love to steal my buddy's toys and on occasion play tug with my bestie the lab.
Do you know any commands or tricks? No, I am trying, but I am so nervous
How are your house manners? I am good until I want attention from my best buddy, then I will bark at him. I dont jump on the couch, I will come up to my foster dad and put my paws on him to get love and attention.
Describe your personality - I am one nervous dog, I tend to pace a lot. I will sometimes come when my foster dad calls me. I love getting love and affection, it's just so hard for me to not be scared at first. I have had my paws washed with no issues. I have never barked or growled at my foster parents. I love playing in the back yard and running with my best friend. I did not like the house full of people over the holidays so I wouldn't come in the house. My foster dad have to come out and pick me up. I dont shake that much now being picked up.
My perfect home would be a place with no young children, maybe another Young dog as I do love playing. I dont mind cats. Need someone who is going to be really patient with me and can help me be a more confident dog. I seem to do better with a male figure as my previous care takers were male.
Please understand I am not going to instantly love you at a meet and greet it is going to take me a few days to warm up to anybody new and a new environment initially but I promise I’m worth the patience!!!!

Go meet their pets

All of our pets reside in private foster homes so meet and greets are scheduled in public locations. We often hold adoption events at our grooming salon in Sioux City. All dogs have their Foster location listed as the first sentence in their bio so please make sure you check that. We do adopt out of state, but we do require that you either come pick up your pet or set up transport on your own. We can accommodate FaceTimes
