Meet Gigi

Gigi is a sweet, energetic German Shepherd with a zest for life and a heart full of love. Despite her playful spirit and boundless enthusiasm, Gigi faces a significant challenge. She was born with a condition called Carpal Laxity, which gives her wrists an excessive range of motion. While this doesn't cause her immediate pain, her unique feet have been compared to duck feet, ballerina shoes, and scuba flippers.

Why Gigi Needs Your Help

Recently, veterinarians have recommended that Gigi's condition has progressed to a point where surgery is necessary. The corrective surgery will help her live a more comfortable and happy life. We are looking to get Gigi into UC Davis for this procedure, and we need your support to make it happen.

EDIT: Gigi requires leg braces prior to her leg surgery. The cost for such braces is $1,500

Gigi's Journey

Gigi's journey has been one of resilience and transformation. Since coming out of the shelter, she has blossomed into an energetic, goofy girl who loves playing with her tennis ball and squeaky toys. She is well crate trained and has made incredible progress with potty training, having limited accidents.

One of Gigi's favorite activities is cuddling on the couch. Despite her size, she sees herself as a lap dog and will smother you in kisses if you let her. Her affectionate nature and loving personality have endeared her to everyone who meets her.
