About Gigi

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Gigi is a six-year-old pittie/hound mix who loves her treats and snackies even more than she loves attention. She’s searching for a home with a patient, experienced person who’s ready to keep her busy, teach her fun tricks, and embark on lots of active adventures together. Gigi is a high energy girl who thrives with plenty of outdoor exercise and would love to be doted on as the only dog in your home. She will do best as your one-and-only, with no small children around, though she might possibly warm up to another dog with very slow, experienced introductions. Gigi is spayed and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption benefits include lifetime free dog training support—covering access to lively group classes—plus one month of MetLife pet health insurance, and a complimentary spa visit for a bath, nail trim, and ear cleaning from Scenthound. Born under the sign of Leo, Gigi was made for the spotlight and loves to be the star of the show! Make their next chapter their best one yet.
