More about Gizzie

Gizzy Breed: Chihuahua Age: 11–12 years Location: Middlesex, NC Good With: Cats, dogs Adoption Fee: $300  Meet Gizzie — the little dog who almost lost everything. Gizzie is an 11–12-year-old Chihuahua who recently lost the only person she had ever known — her 90-year-old mom. When her mom passed away, Gizzie and her brother were suddenly left behind.  There were five adult children in the family… but not one of them stepped forward to take them.  Instead, the family discussed taking the two little dogs to a shelter to be euthanized. Thankfully, before that could happen, Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue stepped in. When Gizzie first arrived, she was clearly miserable. Quiet. Uncomfortable. Not herself at all. The reason soon became clear — seven of her teeth were completely rotten and causing her constant pain.  Once those painful teeth were removed, everything changed. It was like watching a whole new dog appear. Now Gizzie is happy, silly, and full of life again. She has the sweetest little personality and loves being near her people. Despite everything she has been through, she is incredibly gentle and easygoing. Gizzie is: Wonderful with other dogs Comfortable around cats Low-maintenance and easy to live with The perfect little companion for someone who appreciates a calm, loving senior After losing her mom and almost losing her life, Gizzie deserves something she hasn’t had in a while — a safe, loving forever home. We are seeking a local foster or adopter in the Raleigh / Durham area to give this sweet girl the soft landing she deserves.
