My story

Pocket pittie alert! Gadget is available for adoption! Gadget knows basic cues, and a couple extras (touch and paw). He’s not great at ‘drop it’ with a tennis ball, unless you have another one. He goes bonkers over toys, and is a pro at destroying them in seconds. He’s great on a leash, unless he sees a squirrel, then it’s every man (and dog) for themselves. Gadget loves people. He has no stranger danger whatsoever. He can get overstimulated and jump at faces, but in the nicest way possible. He just wants to give you a kiss, that might also break your nose. I imagine this is also what it’s like to kiss an MMA fighter. But Gadget is way cuter. Because he loves people so much, I bet you’re thinking you should take him everywhere with you? Don’t. Have you heard the lambs screaming, Clarice? Gadget will ruin your day while simultaneously charming everyone in the room. Because, his face. Gadget is crate trained, but can be trusted being left out in a bedroom/extra room. He would love to share a bed with you at night, he makes a perfect donut and doesn’t move an inch, but his snoring can wake the dead, or dead inside (my husband). Gadget is fully potty trained. He can hold it for a full work day (8+ hours) with no issues. He’s medium/high energy when he’s been cooped up. Two-ball fetch for 10-15 minutes once or twice a day is great for him, or a long walk. He’ll pass out, or self entertain, if he gets a chance to run out his energy. Name: Inspector Gadget Age: 3-4 years Gender: Male Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier – we did his DNA test, and he’s as pure as they come. Weight: 40lbs Crate Trained: Yes, but can be trusted left out in a room. Potty Trained: Yes. Fully. Absolutely no accidents and no marking. Dog Friendly: Would do best as an only dog. Cat Friendly: No Kid Friendly: Older Vaccinated: Yes Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Energy level: Medium Inspector Gadget is currently being fostered in Itasca, Illinois. No out of state applicants, please. If you’d like to meet him, the first step is to fill out an application: https://darkhorsedogs.org/adoption-application

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Gadget, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
