Gizmo - Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed Dog For Adoption

View more

e's energetic, playful, and always ready to investigate whatever is happening around him. He'd thrive with a family that can keep up with his puppy energy and give him plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and learn. He's already learning lots of household words and routines. Gizmo knows "leave it," "off," "outside," and "last call," and he's figuring out that sitting politely earns him treats. He takes correction very well and is happy to listen when reminded. He's also mastered the stairs and runs happily to the back door when called. Gizmo sleeps in his kennel for about six hours overnight and will whine to let you know when he needs a potty break. He's continuing to work on his house training and does well with a consistent routine. He hasn't shown any interest in chewing things he shouldn't, although he does have a serious appreciation for freshly folded laundry—apparently it's the perfect place to catch all the good smells! This boy is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle. He enjoys being around his resident dog friends and gets a little offended when they disappear to the basement without him. He's also fascinated by the cats and desperately wants them to play, although they're not quite as enthusiastic about the friendship. His favorite toys include stuffies and squeaky toys, but give him a cow hoof or bone and you've really made his day. Curious, energetic, affectionate, and just a little bit goofy, Gizmo is the kind of puppy who will keep you laughing while he learns his way through the world. He's looking for a family ready to embrace the fun—and occasional chaos—of puppyhood while helping him grow into an amazing companion. They were rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas.

Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
