Story
Update 6/14/26 from her foster home: Gigi is a sweet gentle soul who's looking for her forever home. Estimated to be around 6-7 years old she's a calm easy-going companion who loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa next to her person. Despite having limited vision due to cataract. Gigi gets around remarkably well. She listens for your footsteps and follows you from room to room can use the stairs and is great on walks. Her adaptability is amazing and everyone who meets her falls in love because she's so cute gentle and fluffy. What makes Gigi special is she's quiet well mannered and rarely barks. She's cuddly and trusting and just wants to be near you. She's dog friendly and does great with other dogs and feels most secure with a canine companion. She's house trained and an easy eater. Friendly with everyone she meets people and dogs alike. What she needs is a quiet home. Her limited eyesight makes her sensitive to loud or sudden noises so a calm neighborhood is ideal. She'll also need a future spay and potential cataract surgery can help fix her vision and continued eye supplements. She also has a small lump on her stomach which hasn't grown but should be tested. Since arriving in her foster's home Gigi has gained healthy weight and her coat has grown back soft and fluffy. Early vet tests didn't show signs of diabetes or other health issues. She's a happy healthy girl who just needs someone to call her own. FFR has already invested thousands into her early vet care and is fundraising for cataract surgery and dental care. If you'd like help donations are always appreciated: furryfriendsrescue.org/donations Original posting: We rescued Gigi from a distant shelter. The shelter person told us that she was maybe about 4-5 yrs old and very friendly. Great with dog buddy in her kennel. One shelter staff person said she didn't notice all the medical needs that Gigi has. Gigi was neglected matted and very dirty with bad smell. Dog friendly. When she went to our vet he told us she is older and that she needed dental and had some gum inflammation has lump on belly (need to remove & biopsy) not spayed and has double cataracts (vet did eye dye tests). Blood and urine tests shows no diabetes which can cause cataracts. Vet gave her eye drops. She has poor vision but sees light and large objects. She is getting around fine at her foster home and does great on walks. She can manage going up and down stairs. We have spent over $1000 so far on first exam eye blood & urine tests shave down/bath medications and all her vet care. Healthy foods eye vitamins and drops have help her. Healthier and sees well. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you. 🥰 https://www.furryfriendsrescue.org/donations 3/14/26 Foster Home Update: Gigi is a really remarkable little girl. I’m surprised by her everyday! She’s able to get around quite easily on her own despite the occasional light booping against my leg or a wall. She listens for my footsteps and able to follow me around. She’s quiet and easy going. Friendly with other dogs and everyone we meet on the street. I’m amazed by how easily she’s adapted to San Francisco streets. Her poor eyesight doesn’t seem to be slowing her down. She’s trusting cuddly and just likes to be nearby. She’s also an easy eater and house trained. All my friends and neighbors who’ve met her think she’s the sweetest.YouTube: https://youtu.be/mQwFiUOiwdASeptember 19, 2026, 12:27 am

Story
Meet Tom Tom, the undisputed champion of play, self-appointed Toy Inspector, and professional speed-racer. If you have a squeaky toy, a tennis ball, or an active lifestyle, Tom Tom is already 100% convinced you two are soulmates.This handsome, energetic boy is packed with personality, endless enthusiasm, and a heart pure enough to melt a glacier. He thrives on staying busy, loves learning new tricks, and thinks brain-games are the best invention since the peanut-butter-stuffed Kong.What Makes Tom Tom So Special:Playtime Professional: His dedication to inspecting, tossing, and retrieving toys is a full-time job-and he takes his work very seriously (and hilariously).Smart Cookie: Tom Tom genuinely loves training time. He treats learning like a fun game and is always eager to show off how clever he is.Heart on His Sleeve: Beneath all that bouncy energy is a loyal, loving dog who just wants to bond deeply with his human.The Real Talk (Training & Care):Tom Tom is a bit reactive when encountering the big, busy world. He gets easily overwhelmed or overly excited around certain triggers, meaning he needs a patient, understanding partner who can guide him with confidence. The good news? He has already made fantastic progress with us and is coming along so well! To ensure a seamless transition and keep his amazing momentum going, his adoption includes a free private training session with a professional trainer.Tom Tom doesn't need a perfect world-just a loving, patient companion who is ready for fun, committed to ongoing positive training, and open to receiving a lifetime of boundless affection in return.Ready to add a whole lot of joy, laughter, and energy to your home? Tom Tom can't wait to meet you!I'm currently available for adoption by appointment, so If you'd like to learn a little bit more about me please call our behavior hotline number at (831) 264-5422.Special Needs: Because of my breed, I'll need regular grooming appointments to keep my coat healthy and comfortable. Without them, my fur can get matted or overgrown, which can lead to infections, and trust me, that makes me feel pretty yucky. Keeping me well-groomed helps me feel my best!
