Gordo

My story

Say hello to Gordo! Gordo is an approximately one-and-a-half-year-old male Chihuahua mix, weighing around 11-pounds. And yes, for his little frame, he is adorably "gordo"! ;-) Also, check out that low-rider bod and cute little bow-legs! Gordo came to the shelter with four other dogs from the same property. A good samaritan reached out to rescues saying they knew the dogs were being mistreated, and the owner agreed to surrender them to our rescue. Gordo is a shy guy but once he knows and trusts you, he will approach you for pets (belly rubs are his favorite!). Gordo is social with other dogs and wouldn't mind a fur-buddy in his new home. He has a mellow to moderate energy level overall and is happy to sniff around the yard, then snuggle up for lap time. Gordo will need a patient home willing to give him time to adjust to his new indoor life. We recommend no small children for him due to his shyness. If Gordo sounds like the one for you, email us at chitownrescue@gmail.com for more info/meet and greet appointment. Gordo's adoption fee includes neuter surgery, vaccinations up to date including Rabies certificate, and microchip.January 21, 2026, 11:08 pm
