My story

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

Hi, I'm Gigi! I am a 5-year-old Chihuahua blend who weighs 15 lbs. I may have a fancy French name, but I'm a simple girl at heart. Above all, I love to walk: let me repeat, I LOVE to walk, stroll, amble, trot, promenade, and waddle. Do you love strolls too? Do you think we could go on some adventures together?



Favorite Things: In addition to walks, Gigi has been known to enjoy lengthy meditation sessions: even though she is a Chihuahua, she *is* Zen. Even fireworks merely irk her: she is not afraid. Gigi will also choose a favorite human as her person. (Patience and treats help!) She particularly favors men.



Training & Manners: Gigi has all the makings of a little lady! She is housetrained if let out regularly. She sleeps in her dog bed (or on the sofa) at night. She walks well on a leash, which is lucky given her love of walks. She does not pull, does not sniff for eons, and keeps pace. She is getting better and less anxious about car rides. She can, however, be very skeptical of new people. She needs slow introductions and does not like it when strangers come towards her or engage her. With time, however, she warms up: with her Chihuahua-savvy fosters, she has become very sweet and snuggly after a few weeks.



Health and Care: Gigi is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She just needs her monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative, like any other dog. She won't need much elaborate grooming and so far she has done well at bath time.



Other Animals: Gigi would do best as the only dog in a household, although she may get along with some cats. While on walks, usually ignores other dogs and/or is easily redirected. However, she will bark at new dogs and get snippy if they don't back off.



Children: This timid gal does best with in a quiet home with a predictable schedule, so she would do best in a home without children.



Ideal Home: Gigi hears all and knows all; she's a great guard dog. She barks, but will settle. She probably barks too much for an apartment, but a townhome would work.



Overall: Gigi is looking for a family with Chihuahua "street cred" and with the sort of "street cred" that comes from loving walks.



Do you think Gigi is just gorgeous? Then visit our website at www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with the foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. Her adoption donation is $325.

We are a foster-based rescue organization and do not have a facility. We have all events posted on our website each month.

More about this rescue

Poodle and Pooch Rescue is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that saves dogs that truly need help. We rescue the "leftovers" from animal control, the dogs nobody wants because they're older or suffer from neglect, abuse or have a medical need. Their "last" day becomes the first day of their new life. We provide the veterinary care they need, a foster family they love and when they're ready, we adopt them to a family who cherishes them. We do not have a physical shelter because every dog lives with one of our foster families. We are all volunteers so your tax-deductible donation goes directly to help the dogs. We have saved over 5,500 dogs since 2008.
