DESCRIPTION
Rover is a handsome, loveable guy. When he arrived to Gigi's, it was noted he was favoring his front left foot and after close inspection from the medical team, it was discovered he has several fracture toes. He is able to get around but is on exercise restrictions until he's fully healed. Fortunately, this boy loves food and working on food puzzle toys to keep him busy. When he is outside for walks, he is learning not hover right by his person or flop over at the feel of leash pressure. Indoors, he likes to lean in for affection, interactively play with toys and his person and sniff out treats. He gives wiggly, social behaviors towards other dogs when meeting them. Although we can't guarantee his breeds, he does have some physical and personality traits of a German Shepherd x Siberian Husky mix.
Rover is a large sized mixed breed, approximately 2 years young and currently weighs 50 pounds.
Rover has received his full-service vet care, vaccines, pre-adoption behavior support, microchip and will be neutered. To meet this dog or any of our other ready-for-adoption dogs, visit Gigi's during our open adoption hours listed on www.gigis.org. By adopting a Gigi’s Grad, you are helping other shelter dogs in need get vital care and an opportunity to find a new family, just like yours — together we’re improving the lives of shelter dogs™.

ABOUT: LABRADOR RETRIEVER DOG BREED
The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
