🐾 The Dog Behind the Story
Meet Gigi.
aka The Queen of the Pool 👑
Gigi is an 8-year-old Lab and Jack Russell mix from Orlando, Florida — but her story didn't begin in a forever home. Before finding her family, she had been returned multiple times: misunderstood, overlooked, and waiting for someone to truly see her. At one point, she was placed on a list no dog should ever be on.
Everything changed the day Kiara chose her.
Gigi was adopted on April 30, 2018, from the Orange County Animal Shelter. Today she is exactly where she was meant to be — full of energy, personality, and love. She runs fast like a track star, swims every chance she gets, and turns every dog park into her kingdom.
At home, she shares her life with her sister Annabelle. Together they nap, watch TV, and enjoy the simple moments that make a house a home. Gigi is sweet, smart, a little spunky, and always ready for her next adventure.
“Her journey is a reminder that even when the world gets it wrong, the right home makes everything right. And every dog deserves a second chance.”
