Gigi

My story

I went on a Dodo Dream Date with Naomi Watts! Click here to watch! What my friends at ACC say about me:I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some canine body language together!I know sit, stay, come, lay down, drop it, etc. Plus, my foster parent has generously sponsored 3 future training classes as a bonding tool with my future adopter! Let's practice and learn together!My adoption fee has been sponsored!My foster writes: No, these aren't pictures of a miniature brown bear cosplaying as a dog. Rather, these photos are of Gigi: sweet, soft hearted, 100% good dog. A stunning and regal girl, Gigi is known in her foster mom's circles as "The Grand Dame". Lending to this nickname are Gigi's perfect manners- sit, stay, come, lay down.....Gigi gets gold stars all around. She stays off of furniture (unless invited) and is perfectly house and crate trained. Belly rubs? Treats? This girl can't get enough of them. That said, she'll respect your space and isn't interested in asking you to share when you're snacking or eating a meal. Sweet Gigi currently lives in harmony with two chihuahuas and constantly takes the high road when they try to show her that they're in charge.Like so many of us, sometimes Gigi gets nervous when there's a stranger at the door or there's a loud or scary noise. But a gentle reassurance, a pet or snuggle, and treat calms her down. She's working on her leash manners by taking long walks along the Hudson River and is making quick progress. Gigi is looking for a best friend to tell her she's beautiful, snuggle with her, and love her. (Aren't we all?) She can promise that she'll happily return the same in spades for her person. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 76.8 Age: 7yrs 6mths 2wks
