Gordo is a lovable Puggle/Chihuahua mix looking for a patient, understanding home. He came to us after his previous family had to make the difficult decision to rehome him due to a family member's allergies. Gordo is a very sweet boy who can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate personality shines through. He is still working on his house-training skills and will need a family willing to help him continue learning with patience and consistency. In his previous home, Gordo lived happily with his father dog and did well with children. Because he can be timid at first, he would likely do best in a home with older, respectful children. He has not been introduced to new dogs since coming into our care, and he has not lived with cats. With his hound background, Gordo enjoys following his nose, so a securely fenced yard would be ideal to give him a safe place to explore and play. If you're looking for a gentle, loyal companion who just needs a little time to blossom, Gordo may be the perfect addition to your family.DOB 6-1-2427 PoundsI'm waiting for a home to call my own. email [email protected] to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.
