Senior bonded pair looking for a new home as their current owners are entered hospice care for a life-threatening medical condition. Both Gigi & Louie have been in their home since they were puppies and have been well cared for. Louie is all grey, 55lbs and 7 years old, while Gigi is brown and white, 70lbs and is 12 years old.

 

Gigi is docile, friendly, protective of Louie. Louie is high energy, playful, adventurous. *Louie is nursing a knee injury. The vet is unsure whether it can heal on its own or will require surgery. I can provide more information about this to anyone who is considering adoption, and please don't let this deter you. We will work with the potential adopter to cover a portion of medical costs if it comes to that. Otherwise, both dogs are in good health.

 

Gigi and Louie are good with people (including kids, although the owner has not seen the dogs interact with infants, and Louie's excited nature could knock a little kid over), but there have been two instances of scuffles with other dogs in the past. On both occasions, the dogs were off leash and approached Gigi unannounced. She can be shy and fearful of other dogs. Their owner does allow other dogs to say hello or visit them for playdates when a good relationship has been established. He takes them to local trails so they can run off leash, as they tend to sniff everything and pull a lot on leash in the neighborhood. G&L have not had formal obedience training, but they are well-mannered and respond to voice command, are completely house trained, and don't mess up furniture. The ideal family would be one that has space for two large animals to live comfortably (including a yard for them to run and play in), enjoys walks on trails, and will be patient and loving to two animals readjusting to life in a new home.
