About Gigi

Meet Gigi! This lovely beagle mix has spent three tough years on the streets, yet she remains a soft, gentle soul. Weighing around 35 pounds, Gigi has a calm and observant demeanor. While she’s good with people, she’s a bit shy at first—understandable for a dog who has had to navigate harsh realities on her own. With just a little time, she grows comfortable, leaning into kindness as if it’s something she’s longed for. Gigi gets along famously with other dogs and truly finds comfort in their presence. A home with another steady canine companion would be ideal for her well-being. However, given her past, she’s determined to keep herself safe, which translates to being a flight risk. A securely fenced yard is not just preferable; it’s necessary for her safety. No loose ties or casual supervision will suffice; Gigi is savvy when it comes to making her escape. What she needs is everything she hasn't known until now: stability, patience, and the nurturing environment where she can finally be someone’s cherished pet. Gigi is wonderfully house-trained, sleeps soundly in her crate, and surprising for some dogs, does not fear storms. While she shows no aggression towards children, sudden movements can startle her, so a home with teenagers or older kids would be best. Gigi is ready for a loving family that understands her journey.
