Story
Gizmo is approximately six years old and weighs 6.9 pounds. His original paperwork puts him at three years old however we think he is closer to six years old since he did already have to have a dental that we provide provided.
Gizmo is a very sweet boy, but he is a scared and very shy boy.
He is not a big fan of men and prefers to have a mature female home.
Gizmo is very quiet, has good potty manners, is gentle, great with other dogs but really prefers other calm dogs, and he has good potty manners.
He is terrified of change so he will need a couple days to settle into his new home and to decompress. However, he bonds very quickly to his new people. It may take a couple days for him to feel comfortable to walk on a leash and harness, but once he is bonded with his human, he walks perfectly on a leash right next to you and is a very good boy.
He also loves car rides.
He needs comfort, love, no small children, great with other animals (cats),soft voices, calm and quiet loving home.
If he is frightened, or if a stranger is moving to fast he will air nip as if he was going to bite but this is only out of fear, and he does not actually bite.
You just need to go slow and baby talk him, the first day we had to pick him, we picked him up with a blanket but by day 2 he was already coming to us for cuddles.
Gizmo is currently in a foster and he adores his foster mom and grandma however is not a huge fan of grandpa, who is a very gentle soul himself and has been working with Gizmo, and Gizmo is getting better but still prefers the women in the home.
He needs a little patience and some extra cuddles to gain some confidence but he is a good boy that has had a tough life this far.
Gizmo was surrendered to the San Antonio animal shelter over a year ago and then he was adopted and then that person also gave him up. So he is scared, shy, he lacks stability and does not know what the next day is going to bring, and who can blame him really. Then he came to the ranch and then he went to foster. He really needs a stable home with somebody that can give him a good routine and a lot of comfort.
We really feel for this little man 💕
