BTRC foster Gigi is already coming out of her shell. Her confidence builds each day as she has been given opportunities to meet new people and experience new things. Once terrified of strangers, Gigi now looks to her foster mom for reassurance when meeting someone and has even been receptive to some pets and belly rubs!
Gigi just learned the game of fetch and, unlike many Bostons, actually brings the ball back (it seems that no one told her that keep-away is a signature BT move). The other day, she also noticed she has a built-in toy that is always read to play chase – her tail! As you can see, she is quite enamoured with her new find, as she should be as not many Bostons have the luxury of a long tail!
Training is also going well. Gigi has learned the command “sit” in English and when she arrives home from a walk, she waits patiently for her foster mom to wipe her paws. Once hesitant to go in her crate, she now gladly settles in for the evening.
Congrats, Gigi, on a job well done!
Gigi is being fostered in Durham Region, ON and is not yet ready to be considered for adoption.
Gigi was initially brought to the vet to be euthanized because she was anxious and afraid, but the vet refused to put down a young and healthy six-month-old pup. Thankfully, she was surrendered to a shelter instead and from there, found her way to BTRC, where she’ll get the chance to overcome her fears and find a loving home.
Gigi was understandably nervous when she arrived in her foster home but has quickly warmed up to her foster mom and is a top-notch snuggler. Building her trust is essential so she can gain confidence in new situations. Her foster mom has already been working with her. First on the agenda, leash walking. Curriculum states that it’s not polite to bark and pull towards dogs who pass by.
Gigi will need to be spayed, but while she waits, she plans to fill her days with play time, snack time, snooze time, some training (which means extra snack time!) and of course, looking cute. ❤
