Gigi English Bulldog Mix Citrus Heights, CA

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi! I’m Gigi! I need to be the ONLY DOG in your home. If that sounds good to you, please read on! I’d love to meet you!

ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
A very cute girl!

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
About three years old

WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
I am a bulldog mix. (I would guess a bulldog mixed with an extra dose or two of CUTE, but that’s just my humble opinion!)

HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
I am carrying a solid 26 pounds of cuteness on this compact little frame!

WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
I am petite and stocky with short legs, gray and white fur, and a little crooked nubby tail. You would not guess it from my pictures, but I am TINY! I don’t even reach an average adult’s knee when I am standing up, if you can believe it!

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I like to eat everything! I eat my kibble and I love treats. I love fruits and vegetables too!

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
If I were a sauce, I would be Sriracha. I am spicy and oh so sweet! I can be pushy, but I am learning commands like sit, stay, leave it, and also where my “spot” is. I am very trainable!
I am very happy and social. I love people and absolutely love to cuddle! I am playful but also lazy and love to lay on your lap and nap while you are watching TV.

DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
My perfect day is spent with you! I wake up, do a big stretch and immediately want to have breakfast. I run right into the kitchen even before I have gone potty. I then go potty and have a short walk outside. I like to go on walks but not too far since my legs are so short. (Remember above where I said I’m tiny? Yup! I wasn’t kidding!) I love going for car rides more than walks, so a car ride somewhere would make me really happy. Then it is time to head home to relax and take a nap. I love to lay on you or sit on your lap while you are on the couch. I then would love to play with some toys, maybe tug on a rope. After play time, I am usually asleep and snoring by 8:00 pm.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
I love Kong toys filled with treats or Benebone or Nylabone. I love playing tug with rope toys. Playing tug is my absolute favorite game. I am really playful and will enjoy chasing or tugging just about anything you choose.

DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
I know how to sit, leave it, and go to my “spot”. I am still working on some other training commands.

WHAT SCARES YOU?
Sometimes loud noises if I hear them when I am out walking.

HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
I have been around older children and I love them very much. No children under 13 please. Little kids just don’t understand that I am an excited little bulldozer sometimes!

DO YOU LIKE CATS?
No thanks, I’ll pass.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I need to be an only dog. I am queen of my castle! All the love is mine!

IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Right next to you! And also in the car would be great! Did I mention I love car rides? Yes, please!

HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
My health is great!

WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and her teen daughter. I think I like my foster mom the best because she feeds me and I am a total foodie!

WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I stay in my crate when I am home alone. Nobody wants me chewing a shoe, ok?

WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
I sleep in a soft cozy bed inside of my crate.

DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I do like walking on a leash, but I don’t like walking very far. My legs are very short!

DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
I like to attack the vacuum when it turns on. I also love to get into the bathroom trash, dumpster dive! Not sure if it is a bad habit since I can’t help it, but I snore really loud! It’s actually cute, if you ask me.

ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)
Oh sure, I am housetrained. No problem! You will just need to show me where and I will pick it up quickly enough.

DO YOU LIKE WATER?
I tolerate it for my bath and will go outside to potty in the rain, but it is not my favorite. I am heavy and have very short legs so I probably wouldn’t be able to swim. No pools please!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
They give me so much love and attention. I am not sure if I ever had that much love before. They make me a part of everything, and I feel so special. And of course, they give me treats and toys to play with!!

WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I was found as a stray and ended up in the shelter. No one came for me. That’s all in the past now. And my future? It is looking bright! I am SO ready to find my special forever family. Maybe you are ready to bring me home and feel what it is like to have a spunky, tiny little bulldozer who loves to cuddle and will be the most loving pup you’ve ever known? I hope you will give me a chance to show you how much love I have to share!
