RVSPCA Furry Friday: GiGi

GiGi is a wiggle butt of a Pitbull mix with a happy grin and a zest for life. She was relinquished to the pound because her owners were moving, and now she has a second chance at forever home here at the RVSPCA. On any given day, you’ll find GiGi gleefully wagging in her run, hoping the next person she meets is her new best friend.

GiGi weighs 45 pounds and has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested. Meet this joyful Pibble today at the Roanoke Valley SPCA between Noon and 6pm.
