About Gigi

Gigi walks into the room with the confidence of someone who’s just uncovered an ancient tomb full of tennis balls. She’s the kind of dog who wakes up early, ready to sprint out the door or bounce straight into a morning of adventure. There’s plenty of curiosity behind those pug-like features—a knack for sniffing out every toy and chewable bone, thanks to her budding status as a self-proclaimed bone archaeologist. Gigi’s stamina matches her spirit, guaranteed to keep up with anyone’s fitness routine and chase after any ball you’re willing to throw. But after a day of digging and exploring, Gigi has a soft, homebody side. She shifts gears and melts into the couch, intent on cuddles and relaxation before tomorrow’s escapade. Gigi gets along well with other dogs and children, which makes her a reliable sidekick for active families, but she’s set on a cat-free household. She’s also spayed, vaccinated, and already has house training under her belt. Gigi is currently in foster care in Mexico and will be transported to her new home in Anacortes, WA upon adoption.
