About Gigi

Gigi arrived at the shelter thanks to the Humane Law Enforcement team. She is a sensitive and sweet dog in need of a patient adopter who can help her build confidence at her own pace. Although Gigi might feel fearful in new situations, she has demonstrated that she can warm up quickly, especially when offered hand-fed treats and gentle affection. She’s still learning to trust, so her ideal home would allow interactions to unfold slowly, with ample consent and positive reinforcement. This gentle lady seeks a calm environment, ideally with children aged 10 and older, where she can feel safe and secure. With love and understanding, Gigi can develop into a loyal and devoted companion. The San Diego Humane Society has spayed her, vaccinated her, and microchipped her, ensuring she's ready for her new home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
