Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Maltese / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Gianna is a calm and gentle dog with the most endearing crooked little smile. She came to rescue after being surrendered with a male companion, both of them likely used for backyard breeding. Her coat was in terrible shape when she arrived, matted and flea-ridden (as shown her one of her photos,) and she had to be shaved down completely at the groomer. Despite all that, she adjusted beautifully to living indoors and is doing well in a home environment. She’s very sweet, affectionate, and has a quiet charm that shines through now that she’s safe. Her male friend has been protective of her, though both have recently been altered, and she’s learning how to relax and enjoy life without the constant stress of her past. Gianna’s little grin is unforgettable, and her calm demeanor makes her easy to love. She’s a dog who will thrive in a patient, loving home where she can continue to blossom and finally be valued for the companion she was always meant to be. Gianna will do best in a home with a confident canine companion. Gianna is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 9/6/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 430 PM and 8PM. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about this program. This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian.

An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
