@partyfarms: UPDATE: Gigi is going on a foster trial this weekend!! // I’m coming to you today with a desperate plea for Gigi. She is code red at the shelter because she has started to mentally break down. She needs a miracle and she needs it now. 

I took Gigi home for a Doggy Day Out a few weeks ago. I only spent a few hours with her, but in that time, I watched the stress and fear melt from her body. I could see her visibly decompress.

Now, every week when I go to the shelter, I visit Gigi and she is always so happy to see me. She jumps up to say hello, or she scoots as close to the kennel door as possible so I can love on her. So to hear that she is having such a negative reaction is both shocking and heartbreaking. 

Gigi is only 9 months old and she’s spent 5 of those months in a shelter. She is well loved by staff and volunteer but if you spend 5 minutes it a shelter, you will understand how easily a dog could become stressed and overstimulated. She’s great with other dogs and okay with cats. I think a confident dog could help show her the ropes and teach her how to be a dog outside of the shelter, but she doesn’t necessarily need one. Gigi doesn’t need someone to “fix” her. She needs someone willing to give her the time, patience, and safety to finally feel like she’s allowed to be a puppy. It is breaking my heart into a million pieces knowing that this sweet girl is deteriorating in a place that she has already spent more than half of her life. I need to see Gigi get the chance to THRIVE outside of the shelter. But I need your help to make that happen. Please share this. Tag someone. Send it to a rescue. Send it to the person you know who might be willing to give Gigi a chance. She just needs someone to see the dog I see.

 📍 Gigi is at Pitt County Animal Shelter. Details below. Pitt County Animal Services 4550 County Home Road, Greenville, NC Adoption Hours: Monday–Friday | 1:00 PM–4:30 PM 252-902-1725
