History: Gizmo is a super handsome boy who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with his smile and happy personality. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Sweet, little Gizmo is slowly learning how wonderful life can be now that he is in a safe space. Every day he gets a little bit braver and explores new parts of our house and backyard. He feels especially brave when he is with our other dog and follows her around to learn what being a dog is all about. He would probably do best in a house that has another dog or at least frequent exposure to dogs to give him confidence. Currently, his favorite thing to do is to be outside on our patio enjoying the sunshine and listening to all of the sounds around him.
Two things that we are working on are being on a leash and potty training. He keeps his kennel clean and is making great progress with the potty training but the leash is a slow process for Gizmo.
After being a breeder dog for all of his 7 years, Gizmo deserves a life of peace and comfort and all the love a good boy can get. Hopefully Gizmo finds his forever home soon!
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
