HEADLINER:  GIA (Bonded with SELENE) ~ An Instant Family!!

HISTORY:  Gia is a beautiful 3 yr old Dogue De Bordeaux that came to us underweight, with marks/patches of hair loss. Since then, she has gained adequate weight, been spayed, is up to date on vaccinations, is microchipped and is now searching for the perfect forever home.

PERSONALITY: Gia is a very sweet, affectionate, goofy and incredibly smart girl. Gia is a leader. She is deeply bonded with her littermate, Selene, therefore will only be adopted out as a pair, to reside together in the same household.  Gia shows no food aggression. They lived with other dogs at their previous home, but have been the only pets at their foster home, so their behavior/reactions with other animals is unknown. They do react by barking, in unison, to alert you, as unfamiliar people enter the home, but they settle quickly. They are perfectly crate trained.  Their leash walking skills continue to improve. They continue to improve with their house training and proper house manners. They have made progress, but they need an understanding and supportive family, that is ready and willing to help them achieve complete success with their training.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES:   Gia is quite energetic and loves nothing more than stretching her legs, running around playing with Selene in a spacious yard. Her second favorite thing to do is SLEEP, right next to her sister - like yin and yang. It is truly amazing, how well this pair of sisters get along, every moment of every day. They LOVE each other, and their humans.

MEDICAL ISSUES: None known

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Gia and Selene, the Dynamic Duo, would best suit an active family looking for a very special pair of outgoing, friendly, devoted companions.  Adopters should have breed knowledge and experience. Due to their size and strength, they’re not suitable for a household with small children.  

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:  If you think you’ve got the perfect family home for Gia and Selene, and are ready for DOUBLE the fun, love and KISSES, then we’d love to find out more about you. Please fill out our adoption questionnaire and we’ll be in touch soon.
