About Gia

Maltese / Norfolk Terrier
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

**PLEASE READ GIA'S BIO THOROUGHLY BEFORE INQUIRING.** Meet Gia, our little cutie who had a not so good life before being rescued. Gia belonged to an owner who let her get pregnant a few times and then ended up getting overwhelmed with dogs at his house. He did tell us that he kept them in his garage almost 24/7 because of the chaos and noise. We took in all the dogs and got them placed, but Gia is still looking for her forever home. This sweet girl is a 4 year old Terrier mix with a touch of Shih Tzu and she's about 18lbs. Gia is one of the most loving and sweetest dogs we have met, but please note because of the terrier in her, she loves to 'bark talk.' She has been around kids 12 years old and older and she is amazing with them. She needs to go in a home with another dog, preferably a male, since we see she gets along best with them. One thing to note is she does occasionally go potty in the house, even with outdoor access, but she is getting the hang of it. A home with carpeting would not work out. We want her in a home with owners who are not gone long hours during the day, because of her situation where she came from, we don't want her in a home where she is left alone long hours and we do not want her crated. She definitely needs an experienced home with owners who are dog savvy and can help her make the transition to a new home easier for her. She will probably be quite anxious the first few weeks away from her family. With our fast dogs, we require a 3ft gate at the front door regardless if you have a secure screen door or fenced in front yard, it's a safety measure to help prevent her from darting out each time the door is opened/closed. Gia is one of the most loving little dogs and deserves an equally loving home that will nurture her and show her what real unconditional love is. WE ONLY ADOPT IN LOS ANGELES AND SURROUNDING AREAS AS AN IN PERSON HOME CHECK AND TRIAL PERIOD ARE REQUIRED. Her adoption fee is $500.
