Gisele

Gisele...<br/>A purebred Miniature Pinscher, approximately ten years old, pulled from the streets of Corpus Christi after months of surviving off scraps at a food truck lot- until even that wasn't welcome anymore.<br/>When she came to us, she weighed just six pounds.<br/>She had two teeth left- both rotting- a nasal fistula (a hole between her mouth and nose), and multiple mammary tumors, one as large as a clementine.<br/>We believe she was used for breeding and then discarded when she was no longer useful. We took her in expecting hospice. We simply wanted to provide comfort and a safe place for her to rest.<br/>But last week changed everything.<br/>She had her remaining teeth removed, her fistula repaired, and the largest mass taken out. And almost immediately, she changed. Gisele is a different dog now.<br/>She runs. She eats without pain. She's putting on weight. She's bright in a way she probably hasn't been in years.<br/>She's headed to a hospice foster this weekend-where we once believed she would live out her remaining months. But now... we're not so sure. It no longer feels like the end of her story. It feels like the beginning of something we didn't expect.<br/>Gisele is a very typical Miniature Pinscher in one important way: she chooses her person. She is gentle with everyone, but she has made her choice- and she is devoted. She's currently following Jill around everywhere, quiet, certain, and never far behind.<br/>So we're asking the world to consider her.<br/>If you're looking for a dog who will be your shadow, your constant, your small steady companion- Gisele may be it.<br/>No, she may not have 10-15 years ahead of her. But the years she has matter just as much. Why are the last few years any less important than the first few? She will be loyal and true to her person in a way that leaves no doubt you are hers. <br/>We thought we were giving her a place to say goodbye.<br/>Now we're hoping to find the person she gets to call home.<br/>Gizelle's adoption fee has been waived for just the right family.
