My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there! I’m Gonzo, a 4-month-old mixed breed pup, and I’m here to bring a little fun, a lot of love, and a touch of the unexpected into your life! I come from the cold mountain tops of West Virginia, and although I might be small, my big personality is ready to shine!

Like my Muppet namesake, I’m quirky, fun-loving, and always up for a good time. Whether it’s chasing after toys, jumping around, or simply being the cutest, most lovable pup, I’m sure to make you laugh and keep you entertained. Life’s never boring with me around!

Here’s what you can expect when you adopt me, Gonzo:

Quirky and unique: Just like my Muppet counterpart, I’m full of surprises! I might do things a little differently, but that’s what makes me so special. I’ll keep you laughing with my goofy antics and lovable personality!
Playful and energetic: I’m always up for fun! Whether it’s zooming around the yard, playing fetch, or just running around in circles, I’ve got plenty of energy to burn, and I’m ready to share it all with you.
Sweet and affectionate: I’m not just all fun and games—once I’m done playing, I’ll be the first to snuggle up on your lap for some cuddle time. I’m a sweet and affectionate boy who loves giving and receiving love!
Curious adventurer: Like Gonzo, I’m always up for an adventure! I’m curious about everything, from the grass in the yard to the world beyond, and I’m ready to explore and learn with you by my side.
Friendly and social: I get along well with other pups and people! I’m always happy to make new friends and share my fun-loving energy with everyone I meet.
Ideal Home:

A family that loves a playful, quirky pup who’s always ready for an adventure and plenty of laughs.
Someone who’s looking for a fun-loving companion to join in on outdoor play, cuddle sessions, and everything in between.
A home where I can get lots of attention, playtime, and, of course, snuggles when the fun is done.
Other pets? Absolutely! I’d love to have some furry friends to play with, so if you have other pets, I’ll be sure to share my fun and friendship with them too.
If you’re looking for a playful, quirky, and affectionate pup who’s ready to fill your days with joy, adventure, and lots of laughter, then I, Gonzo, am the one for you! Let’s make life a little more fun, a little more unexpected, and a whole lot more lovable together. Adopt me today, and let’s get this adventure started!

Additional adoption info

Find the pet for you at the Adoption Center:
Angels of Assisi’s adoption center is open from 12-6pm, 7 days a week. Adoption Specialists and Volunteer Ambassadors are eager to help you find the pet that would fit best in your family.

Adoptable Pets in Foster Homes:
Some of our available pets are currently in foster homes. If an animal is currently in a foster home, it is noted in the animal's biography online. To meet a pet in foster care, please fill out a non-binding adoption application, and the foster parent will contact you to schedule a meet and greet once the application has been approved (generally within 24 hours).

Found the perfect addition to your family? Now what?
The next step is to fill out an adoption application. You can complete and application online (preferred) or stop by the adoption center to fill out a paper application. Adopters must be 18 years of age or older. If you rent your home, we will need to contact your landlord or see a copy of your lease to verify the pet policy. Most applications can be approved within 24-48 hours.

Taking Your New Pet Home
After paying the adoption fee and pending the approval of your application, you may take your new pet home immediately. Adoption fees may vary and can be found on our website at:
