About Gissa


Gissa was being kept in poor conditions when the Mexican shelter owner found her and took her in. She had multiple injuries that could have been done by a car or by abuse, it’s hard to say which. She has spent two years at the shelter before coming to Canada to find her forever home.


Loves her walks and walks well on leash. Foster is working on her reactivity on walks. Per her foster, Gissa is a very pleasant, loveable girl who just wants to be with her person. She’s very friendly with people and other dogs.


Both crate and housetrained, Gissa is such a good girl. She tends to do her business more on walks rather than the yard.


Gissa is very low maintenance and likes to go for walks and nap. If she had another dog to play with, she may be more playful.

She does like to be left alone when doing her own thing or napping.

Overall, Gissa would make a wonderful companion. A lower energy household would probably be best for this girl!

Adoption Fee | $500

Adoption fees help cover the costs associated with rescue, such as vetting, boarding, and transportation.

Prior to adoption, dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and 4Dx tested, and they receive any necessary treatment. After adoption, they are eligible for one month of free pet insurance.

For more information about adoption fees, please review our Adoption FAQs & Fees page.

Why We Love Fostering

  • Fostering is such a rewarding experience and works great for us as it is very flexible. We love seeing the difference in their personalities from day 1: from timid and nervous to a happy, healthy, better-socialized dog. It gives them time to decompress before going to their perfect home. Fostering enriches our lives knowing we are saving a life each time, and giving them a better life ahead. It warms the heart knowing you were part of this process.
