Gizmo 3

My story

Hi there – my name is Gizmo! I’m a sweet two-year-old Lab mix, weighing about 34 pounds. My journey started in Mexico at a tough place called Ellos Son La Razon, and I spent the next two years with the kind folks at Los Adoptables before making my way to sunny San Diego in early June. I’ve been neutered and in great health—no special needs here! I’ve had a bit of a rough past, which means I can be a little shy and fearful at first. But give me some time (and a few good butt and belly scratches), and I start to warm up! Once I feel safe, I turn into a total sweetheart – and a goofy one at that. I love hanging out in cozy spaces like my crate, but I’m also a big-time couch potato. My favorite activity? Snuggling up with a blanket and watching TV.  I feel most relaxed when I’m in a fenced-in yard where I can sniff around and maybe play with some other doggie friends. I’m also just starting to get interested in playing with toys.  When it comes to training, I’m a star student who’s extremely well-behaved. I listen well, I don’t have any separation anxiety, and I’m really close to being fully potty-trained … as long as I get regular breaks outside, I do great! On walks, I like to stay close to my human (because the world is still a little scary), and I wait for cues on where to go. I can be a little more timid around men or if someone approaches me too quickly while I’m on a leash. I haven’t spent much time with cats or kiddos yet, but I think I’d do just fine if everyone gives me space and lets me warm up at my own pace. I’d love a mellow or even active home—whatever works! I do okay on my own, but I think having a doggie sibling around would really help me feel more confident. Most of all, I’m just looking for a loving family who’s patient, kind, and willing to give me the time I need to truly shine. My adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.  If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/ ##2437640##
