About Gissa
Gissa was being kept in poor conditions when the Mexican shelter owner found her and took her in. She had multiple injuries that could have been done by a car or by abuse, it’s hard to say which. She has spent two years at the shelter before coming to Canada to find her forever home.
Loves her walks and walks well on leash. Foster is working on her reactivity on walks. Per her foster, Gissa is a very pleasant, loveable girl who just wants to be with her person. She’s very friendly with people and other dogs.
Both crate and housetrained, Gissa is such a good girl. She tends to do her business more on walks rather than the yard.
Gissa is very low maintenance and likes to go for walks and nap. If she had another dog to play with, she may be more playful.
She does like to be left alone when doing her own thing or napping.
Overall, Gissa would make a wonderful companion. A lower energy household would probably be best for this girl!
Adoption Fee | $500
Adoption fees help cover the costs associated with rescue, such as vetting, boarding, and transportation.
Prior to adoption, dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and 4Dx tested, and they receive any necessary treatment. After adoption, they are eligible for one month of free pet insurance.
For more information about adoption fees, please review our Adoption FAQs & Fees page.
Why We Love Fostering
-
I love animals and believe they all deserve a chance at love and having a happy home. Fostering has been my biggest reward in life. Often seeing these dogs go from shy, frightened, unsure, abused, and/or neglected, to the most loving, happy, and grateful family members. People always ask how I do it, but how can I not? Is it hard to let go? Of course, it is. But it’s not about me – it’s about getting these dogs into furever homes. When I see updates from adopters, nothing makes me happier. I trust Pets Alive to get these homes for my fosters, and when they leave me, sure I miss them, but it means I can take another one into my home. In all, I have fostered roughly 53 dogs. That’s 53 souls that otherwise, may not be alive today.
*** Please note that we are NOT accepting applications for the dogs listed as Coming Soon. These dogs have either yet to arrive or have only just recently arrived. Once their foster families get to know them a little better, a detailed bio outlining their personality and describing their ideal home will be posted and we will then begin accepting applications for them. ***
