Hey there, fabulous human! Meet the one and only Gordy, but feel free to call him Gordo, Gordito, Sir Gordon, or even the Cheesy Gordita Crunch! 🌟 This medium-large, fluff-tastic fellow weighs in at 48 pounds of pure joy, and he’s ready to find a place he can call home—a home that throws balls, toys, and sometimes even snacks his way! 🎾 Gordy is a playful Border Collie/Lab mix with a heart full of love and a spirit that’s unbreakable. Despite having been 1 of 16 dogs rescued from a rather challenging life, you won’t find a happier pup. With a little pep in his step (even if one front foot has a slight limp from a past injury), he’s all about bouncing back and bringing joy. He’s had some teeth removed—8 to be precise—but you won’t hear him complaining; he’s a tough cookie! 🍪 This upbeat gentleman may have faced adversity, including a battle with tick-borne diseases, but fret not! He’s received treatment and is currently living his best, healthy life. Just a heads-up: he may carry some antibodies for a while, likely making him the most resilient pup in the park! 💪 Now, if you’re the kind of person who enjoys long walks, epic games of fetch, or just some good ol’ cuddling on the couch, Gordy is the perfect match! He thrives on both mental and physical stimulation, enjoys a good chew on bones and bully sticks, and has mastered commands like ‘sit’, ‘lay down’, and ‘crate up’ faster than you can say ‘you’ve got this’. Gordy is fixed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations because he deserves only the best! While he’s perfectly friendly and good with dogs, cats, and strangers, he would thrive in a home where he can share his affectionate and playful nature freely. 🐶💖 His ideal family would make playtime a priority and be ready for a companion who can keep up with their adventures. Don’t wait too long to scoop up this character; he’s ready to rock your world! Apply to adopt this lovable boy and take a chance on a friend for life! **Please remember to apply through the Buddy App, because this furry superstar can’t wait to meet you in person!** He currently resides with the amazing Twin Cities Pet Rescue, a foster home-based organization that has dedicated itself to helping animals in need. Preference will be given to applicants within 100 miles of the Twin Cities area, but don’t worry—he’s ready to find a place where he can thrive! 💕
