About Gianna

Gianna is currently available through HSMO’s Foster-to-Adopt program. She is undergoing treatment for heartworm disease, which allows her to continue healing in a loving home instead of the shelter. During this time, HSMO will provide all necessary food, medication, and veterinary care. Adopting Gianna means you'll be part of her journey to wellness, with the opportunity to finalize her adoption once her treatment concludes. While she heals, Gianna will need a calm environment with minimal activity. Avoid rough play and ensure she is kept quiet; short 15-minute walks, three to four times a day, are essential. She'll need to be leashed outside at all times. Once her treatment is complete, she'll be ready to chase and play around like any happy pup should. Get ready to welcome this sweet girl into your heart and home!
