🌟 Meet Gourdo! This charming fellow is estimated to be around 4-6 years young, and let me tell you, he’s as handsome as he is sweet! He absolutely loves being cradled like a baby and snuggling close on your chest. 🥰 Imagine having him curled up with you at night, providing the most comforting companionship! But wait, there's more—he's a playful spirit who absolutely adores anything that bounces! 🎾 Now, Gourdo’s journey hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows. He’s a little shy and might have faced some tough times in the past, as he can be startled by loud sounds. 💔 This little angel has likely experienced some abandonment or trauma, but don't let that hold you back! Give him a soothing voice, and he’ll warm up to you in no time. Just picture the bond you could form! Gourdo's transformation began when he arrived at our partner shelter, where he faced a tough time due to lack of interest, slipping into sadness in his cage. 😞 Thankfully, we stepped in to help. He has received treatment for an ear infection, had eye surgery for entropion (where the eyelids turn inward), and a hernia repair—this boy is a trooper through it all! 🙌 Though he has a bit of skin sensitivity (which we suspect is from chicken-based foods), he does much better on a seafood-based diet. Don't worry, we're here to support any potential adopter with ongoing treatment for his itchiness if needed! 🌊 Gourdo is social and does wonderfully with most cats and dogs. If there are children in the house, he’d thrive best with older kiddos who appreciate his gentle nature and know how to approach him calmly. 🐾 His sweet temperament makes him a lovely family companion, and he’s eager for the love he truly deserves. 💖 Don’t wait! Gourdo has been through so much and he’s looking for a forever family to call his own. This lovable boy is absolutely ready to steal your heart! ❤️ So, if you feel that spark and are ready to bring this gentle soul into your home, *please apply through the Buddy App*! 🐕‍🦺 You won't regret this beautiful journey together!
