Giada was found as a stray in Bakersfield, wandering around an orchard field with her puppy. We believe she was hit by a car in the past, as she has a healed fracture on her front left leg and jaw. Despite everything she’s been through, Giada is a very sweet loving dog. She is very affectionate, springy and energetic. Because of her jaw injury, her tongue sticks out super far! It’s very cute. Lastly, she’s good at climbing and would do best in a home with a tall and secure fence. Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers.
