About Gigi

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Gigi is a certified chaos queen searching for her forever kingdom. She’s not the type to sit quietly in the corner—she’s the kind of dog who will steal your socks, check out the counter, and investigate the trash, all while loving you with her entire heart. At about 1 year old, this tiny pittie mix is very much living her puppy years: expect a big personality, tons of energy, and even more love. Gigi greets every human like a long-lost friend and plays beautifully with dogs of all sizes. Walks on a leash are a breeze, and she's doing wonderfully with house training—plus, she sleeps soundly in her crate at night. Like any young pup, she’s still learning that counters aren’t all-you-can-eat buffets, trash cans don’t hold hidden treasures, and jumping up isn’t always appreciated. She’s mouthy, bouncy, and full of zest, so families with older kids would be the best fit for her spirited playfulness. Currently, Gigi is also being treated for a skin condition, which means frequent baths—for which she's been an absolute trooper. The best news is she’s already improving and expected to recover fully. Gigi hasn’t yet been cat-tested, but she hasn’t shown any interest in pigs or chickens—a quirky little bonus! This smart, eager girl is making big strides and just needs someone willing to guide her and love her through her wild, goofy stage. Dogs like Gigi grow into the most loyal and entertaining companions, transforming their chaos into deep bonds and loads of character. She may not be perfect, but Gigi is perfectly worth it, waiting for someone who sees the diamond in all her delightful mischief. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
