Gia/St Pete

Hey there friends, my name is Gia! My peeps here at VIP Rescue say I’m a 15 lbs, 9 month old Shih Tzu mix and that I’m a total love bug! Those rescue people are funny, huh? ( I love them though, because they rescued me.) Anyway, I really like staring out the window and sitting in the yard soaking up all this Florida sun! A fenced yard would be great for these past times. But, you know what I like the bestest? Cuddling with my humans! I’m doing ok on my leash walks, my foster human said I have this thing called ” stranger danger”. If I don’t know you, or I see another dog or a man, I bark for a little while until I get to know them. I’m still a work in progress, same with my potty training, I’m like 99% there! Sometimes loud noises scare me too, so I think my new family should be with adults or a home with older children because the little kids would make me too nervous. Would that be ok? I’d really like that. Just so you know, I’m spayed, up to date on my vaccines, microchipped and on heartworm and flea prevention. I am also crate trained, I’m good with and without it. Got some room at the Inn for me? You can fill out an adoption application at www.viprescue.org
