About Gizzy

Gizzy is an adorable senior girl brimming with life and love. Rescued as a stray, she arrived in rough shape but has made a remarkable recovery.

Her favorite pastime is lounging in the sun with her belly up for rubs, and she also brings a smile with her silly faces and occasional zoomies. Getting along well with the three other dogs in her foster home, Gizzy is mostly blind but gracefully navigates her surroundings. She’s quiet and easygoing, making her an excellent companion for homes with adults or older kids who know how to treat an older dog gently. Plus, she is both kennel trained and house trained!
