Description
Dog Breed: Schnauzer / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 325. Meet Gigi – The Queen of the Comeback, Deaf but Definitely Not Dull Once upon a snowstorm, Gigi was found alone in an impounded car like the start of a gritty dog drama. Ten years old, matted like a shag rug, with teeth that had seen better decades—Gigi had every reason to throw in the towel. But instead, she flipped her imaginary hair, gave the world a sassy head tilt (from a minor stroke she totally bounced back from), and said, “I’m not done yet.” Now freshly groomed, teeth sparkling, and spirit revived, Gigi has officially entered her golden era. And honestly? She’s thriving. Here’s the thing: Gigi is deaf. Like, fully can’t-hear-a-thing deaf. Which means your vacuum doesn’t scare her, thunder is no big deal, and she’ll never judge your singing—because she can’t hear it. But don’t be fooled—she will bark at you. A lot. Not because she’s mad, but because she’s convinced that one day, through sheer force of personality, she’ll finally hear you respond. It’s her version of manifesting. So yeah… no shared walls please. Her communication style is “enthusiastic shouting into the void.” Gigi has also never been on a leash. Not once. The concept is entirely foreign to her. Put a leash on and she’ll probably just stand there staring at you like, “What is this nonsense?” For that reason, a fully secured fenced-in yard is a must—leash life is not her vibe. And kids? Hard pass. Gigi is a refined gal who prefers adult company. Children with all their flailing limbs and unpredictable energy are a little too much for her. She’s retired from that level of chaos. She’s working on potty training, enjoys following her humans around like a slightly confused cloud, and wouldn’t mind a mellow dog companion to keep her company when her people are out doing boring human things like "earning money for treats." Gigi may be ten, but her sass is eternal. She’s swapped zoomies for naps, parties for peace and quiet, and is looking for a soft couch and a soft heart to match. If you’re into redemption stories, want a nonjudgmental (and non-hearing) roommate, and believe every good girl deserves a fabulous retirement, Gigi is ready. Bonus: she’ll never complain about your snoring. She doesn’t even know it’s happening. Interested in adopting this lovable animal?

Breed overview

Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
