“He was truly loved, and we know how many of you loved him too,” the 60-year-old continued.
“Our sweet Gigolo was such an incredible, unique dog, but mainly, because of him, we started The Vanderpump Dog Foundation and embarked on our mission to save as many dogs as possible.
“He inspired us to start our work in rescue, and for that we will always be grateful. Giggy’s legacy will live on, through every dog @vanderpumpdogs saves.
“Thank you all for your support. Rest In Peace Giggy, we love you. – Ken & Lisa.”

In 2017, Lisa and her husband of over thirty years Ken opened the Vanderpump Dogs rescue centre in Los Angeles.
The couple also help to rescue and provide medical treatment for abandoned dogs through their Vanderpump Dog Foundation.
