Story
Giselle - Frenchy/Chihuahua - Female - 2 years - www.twyla.org
If you'd like to know more about this dog please visit our website at www.Twyla.org
Meet Giselle: This cute little Lady is about 2 years old and we think a Frenchy/Chihuahua Mix - she's a little long and a little opinionated. Here are some of her opinions on things – no one should be allowed to do anything fun without her, treats should be given out freely and often, and she should be able to go back inside as soon as she’s done using the potty (She is not an Adventurer but rather identifies as a Sofa Princess).
Giselle can be a little nervous around new people at first, but once you’ve earned her trust she is as goofy and playful and affectionate as they come. Due to her past, she is extra weary of men (and we don’t blame her), but she loves food so with some of treats and patience, we think she can be won over by just about anyone.
We think Giselle could be happy as the only dog in a home, but she would probably love a dog companion, because she has a lot of puppy energy still and really wants to play.
As we mentioned earlier, she loves food and she has shown a tendency to resource guard it, so she is looking for a home with a confident, somewhat experienced dog handler who is willing to work with her on that. This is the same reason we wouldn’t recommend a family with children under the age of 10, as younger children tend to have food in their hands often and those hands are at just the right height for Giselle to steal it from them. And she’s not very polite about it.
Giselle does well in a crate, especially when the rest of the house is quiet. If she hears fun going on she does get a bad case of FOMO (fear of missing out) and will bark, but she response well when corrected. She also does well in the car and she’s been doing amazing with potty training.
