Story
Meet GIGI – Sweet as Pie and Ready for Her Forever Home
GIGI is a 1½-year-old female Old English Bulldog (around 50 pounds) with a smile that will melt your heart. This sweet-as-pie girl is gentle, affectionate, and full of love. She gets along with everyone she meets – people, dogs, and even cats – making her a wonderful fit for just about any family. GIGI has an easygoing temperament and is happiest when she’s right by your side, sharing her love and loyalty.
Big Smiles & a Bigger Heart
One look at GIGI’s big, goofy grin and you’ll fall in love – she’s known for a heart-melting smile that can light up any room. More than just a pretty face, GIGI has a heart of gold. She’s extremely loyal and loves to stay as close as possible to her humans. If you’re on the couch, she’ll likely snuggle up next to you; if you move to another room, she’ll trot right behind. GIGI would even do well off-leash because she never wants to wander far from the people she loves. Her favorite place in the world is next to you, and she’ll make sure you know you’re never alone.
From Couch Potato to Happy Explorer
GIGI came from a very inactive household and was a bit of a couch potato, but now she’s discovering the joy of an active life. In her foster home, she enjoys three walks a day as part of a gentle weight management plan, and she’s thriving with her new routine. You can see her eyes light up when it’s time for a walk or play – she’s gaining stamina and confidence every day, proving that with a little encouragement and activity, she can truly blossom. Her ideal forever family will keep up this positive momentum with daily walks, playtime, and adventures to continue her healthy journey. GIGI has shown that with love and exercise, she’s becoming a happy, fit companion who’s always up for a stroll around the neighborhood or a romp in the yard.
Healthy & Loved (Skin Care in Progress!)
Like many bulldogs, GIGI has some sensitive skin and is currently getting treatment for a few minor issues – but the good news is Paws Fur Recovery will cover the cost of her treatment while she’s in foster care. GIGI doesn’t let a few medicated baths or ointments dampen her spirit at all. In fact, she’s a champ during her skin care routine – patient and trusting through every bath and ointment application. With a little TLC, her coat (and those adorable wrinkles) will be in tip-top shape in no time. Aside from these mild skin issues, GIGI is in great health and ready to share a lifetime of love with her new family.
The Perfect Home for GIGI
This loving pup will thrive in a home that balances cuddle time with play time. She’d love a family that enjoys daily walks and maybe some weekend adventures, so she can keep building her fitness and confidence. GIGI is so people-oriented that a fenced yard is a bonus but not a necessity – even off-leash, she tends to stick right by your side. She’s wonderfully social, getting along with other dogs and even cats, and her gentle, patient nature suggests she’d be great with respectful kids as well. Ultimately, GIGI’s perfect home is one where she’s cherished as a true family member, included in everyday activities, and never short on love (or belly rubs!).
Adoption Requirements
Paws Fur Recovery wants to ensure GIGI finds the very best forever home. Interested adopters should note the following requirements:
• Home Check: A quick home visit will be required to make sure GIGI’s new environment is safe and suitable for her.
• Other Pets: If you have other pets, we’ll need to verify vet records. All resident pets must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations for everyone’s health and safety.
• Foster-to-Adopt: GIGI will be placed in a foster-to-adopt arrangement. This means you’ll foster her first (with the rescue continuing to cover her skin treatment during this period) to ensure it’s a perfect match, and then you’ll finalize her adoption. It’s a great way to let GIGI settle in and make sure she’s the right fit for your family – though we’re pretty sure her sweet nature and loyalty will win you over quickly!
