About Gigi

Meet Gigi! Gigi is a remarkable 2-year-old, 28-pound white Labrador/Shepherd mix with a story of survival that’s as inspiring as it is heartbreaking. Found on the streets of Kuwait alongside her mama, Shaal, Gigi faced unimaginable challenges. Tragically, her siblings did not survive, and the risks for dogs in Kuwait are serious, often involving poison and neglect. Thankfully, Gigi and Shaal made it to safety in Washington State, where they wait for loving homes. Despite her tough beginnings, Gigi embodies sweetness and gentleness. She's well-mannered and adores the company of people and other dogs. Following the lead of her canine friends, she becomes more confident in their presence, making a home with another dog ideal for her. Gigi is affectionate, easy-going, and eager to share all the love she has saved up. Gigi would thrive in a loving environment with a caring family. She gets along well with both dogs and children, truly enjoying social interactions. Her moderate energy level makes her adaptable to various living situations, though a yard would certainly be a bonus. Crate and leash trained, Gigi adapts well to new experiences, including car rides. Gigi is living at a local PNW boarding facility while seeking a foster or trial home. Are you ready to offer her the happily ever after she deserves? Apply to adopt through NorthWest Wag Rescue and be the chapter she’s been hoping for!
