Story
Hello,
My name is Gigi (short for Guinevere). I am a super sweet little girl. I am a bit shy, a bit scared of new things and environments, but am a SUPER CLING ON that loves her humans! And I am on the hunt for my SUPER CLING ON aka snuggly human!
I think I am a full bred short haired doxie, as my mommy was, but we do not know for sure who my father is/ what breed he was. I am about 12 lbs and about 6-7 years old, female, cuter that cute wiggly worm (see my zero great pics.. I wiggle A LOT). I have super short hair, and am cold all the time, so I want to snuggle all day everyday, and be held, and carried around wherever you go. Not that this is a requirement, but it basically is. I like to lick your feet and be under them. I am a MAJOR tripping hazard. Not that this is a requirement, but it basically is.
My story is long… I can tell you if we get to our… 2nd visit?... or at least 2nd smooches… and, not sure about you, but I give LOTS of smooches. Basic story: My doggie mom died when I was 3 DAYS old from (advanced stage 3 heartworms)… and my 2 sisters (one passed within a week), and I were bottle babies- at an age not survivable by almost anyone. My other sister was my bosom bestie until a few months ago when she passed. I also lost my human mom. Anyways, I am not used to being alone. I can be taught, but there will be a learning curve. I like food, but the soft and yummy type. I need a dental, plus I never loved hard kibble.
SO…. if I'm left in a safe spot, and a new routine is established, I will learn to be ok again. My foster mom has worked on it, and a sound machine has been her life saver apparently… she says mine too... But if that crazy lady would just commit to 24/7 snuggles we wouldn't have this issue! Foster mom is odd… she only gives 16/7 snuggles… she blames work…???... I call it RUDE. This ‘work’ of hers… they must be awful to not let her have 24/7 snuggles! Not my kind of people!
I'm not good on those choke ropes… “leashes.” Foster mom keeps trying to momsplain/ ‘tell’ me they are necessary so I don't get too far away…. And so critters dont swoop after me and eat me… im long and lean and skinny just the right size for a bird of prey or coyote she says… but … whatever… I hate those “leashes!” (aka I need leash training slowly).
In summary: I love to cuddle, dance, lick your feet, be silly, tap dance with my super huge feet to body ratio. I need a home that loves me for me, doesn't trip on dogs under their feet constantly, and can cuddle me as close to 24/7 as we get! Oh, also, I have been piddling on rugs and in the house… and outside like every 60 seconds… so foster mom took me to the vet, I am on an antibiotic, and will get results Monday to see if this is the right antibiotic. But I may need to stay away from rugs/ carpet for a bit at least.
I am heartworm negative, and up to date on my 3 years rabies (just redone), microchipped, just had blood work today, and soon to be up to date on my other vaccines. Before I was adopted the 1st time, I had not weighed enough to be spayed… even at 3 years old. My adopter chose not to spay me as I was still tiny, and not around any other dogs, except my sister. I need to be re-evaluated for a spay when I get my dental, once I am adopted. My adoption fee is $400, but with proof of dental and spay evaluation, $200 of this will be refunded.
