Gigi

Gigi is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet her, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application.<br/><br/><br/>Gigi is an almost one-year-old Black Retriever mix with the softest, most soulful brown eyes and a sleek, glossy coat to match. There’s a quiet sweetness about her — the kind of gentle presence that makes you instantly want to wrap her in a cozy blanket and tell her she’s safe. She is completely house trained and will run to the back door or give a soft whine when she needs to go out. Gigi loves her crate and treats it like her own little sanctuary, settling in beautifully when left alone and sleeping there peacefully at night.<br/><br/>This tender girl is still building confidence in a big, sometimes overwhelming world. She’s very skittish and especially nervous on walks, often pulling strongly to head back inside where she feels secure. Loud noises can startle her, though she does wonderfully in a fenced backyard when it’s calm and quiet. Gigi never barks and has a submissive, passive personality. She may gently paw at you for reassurance, always communicating in the softest ways. With older kids and teens she does just fine, but she hasn’t been out much due to her fears.<br/><br/>Gigi is food motivated, which will be helpful as she continues to work on training and confidence-building. She politely stays in her kennel during family mealtimes and sleeps either on the floor or in her crate without issue. Like many young dogs, she’s still learning that blankets and carpets aren’t chew toys — but she truly wants to please. Overall, Gigi is a very good girl who just needs patience, consistency, and lots of love. In the right calm and understanding home, she will blossom into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion.<br/><br/>Interested in adopting this dog? <br/>Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend. <br/><br/>We love our dogs.
