GIZMO - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed. Gizmo is very youthful, perky, and energetic. LOVES to play with his toys and wrestle with small dogs. Loves to run around. Sniffs everything while out on walks. When he finally settles down, he's very affectionate and cuddly. Enjoys lap time while I'm at the computer. He is a good couch snuggler while watching movies. Food motivated (after a while, he even started liking some fresh fruits/veggies as a snack). Energy Level? Med to High House trained? Yes Describe how they are on a leash? Good once he's on leash, but he thinks getting harnessed is a game, so it can be a little challenging. He is still a bit of a flight risk, Describe how they are with other dogs? While on walks, he growls at bigger dogs, but when he gets close to friendly dogs, he was ok. He loves to play with other energetic small dogs. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? Don't know about cats. Will chase squirrels/birds if given the chance. Commands they know? He knows 'no'. We are working on 'stay' when we wait to cross a street (on leash), and he gets it. What are their favorite things? His favorite things are stuffed toys, sniffing things while on walks, and food What do they need to work on? He is a bit too interested in passersby and dogs during our walks. We are working on getting him to focus on us. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? I work at home, so he isn't alone much, but I think he would do ok being alone for a few hours. Had in/out privilege, and he ended up sitting in the sun, chewing on his toy. Where do they sleep? He sleeps in his crate. What is their ideal home? An active home with other (energetic) dogs. Loves interacting and loves to run. Preferably has room for zoomies. Need to make sure he does not bolt while getting used to his new home, because he loves running. He is a great little dog. The Adoption fee is $325.
