Gia

Hello! My name is Gia! I was rescued from a rural kill shelter. I am a very small, sweet, timid girl, but I warm up very quickly. I want a family of my very own sooooooo much!

I was very, very thin and due to malnutrition I had lost some of my pretty Chocolate Brown coat. My foster Mom is feeding me really good food so I am doing much better now!! I am gaining weight and am getting prettier every day!

I am a good girl and don't understand why no one wanted me any more! I wait to potty until my foster Mom takes me outside on leash. I do fine on leash now and am crate trained too. I like to talk to everyone, but I prefer yodeling to barking! How cute!

My foster Mom says I am an interesting girl with my pretty Amber eyes and cute curly tail!. The people who had me before didn't look after me very well and they bred me while I am still so young. Only a year or so! Too young to be a mom, I think! But I am spayed now! Yeah!

I love dogs and am very interested in cats (But learning they are not that big of a deal)! I am going to spend a full week with a wonderful dog trainer to learn some basic house manners, as no one ever cared enough to show me before!

I love to cuddle next to my foster Mom on the couch! I will make someone a wonderful dog very soon! I am sweet and gentle and can't wait to go to my forever home! Can I come live with you? E-mail my foster mom: <fletchpizza1@aol.com>
