When Gizmo first arrived at the refuge, he was scared, unsure, and quick to use his teeth to tell us he needed space. The busy shelter life just wasn't for him, so he went to a loving foster home-and what a difference that made! Now, Gizmo has done a complete 180. He's a fast learner who already knows sit, down, and stay. He walks beautifully on leash, sleeps quietly through the night in his crate (though his foster thinks he's earned a spot on the bed), and has discovered how much he loves cuddles. He'll gently rest his little paws on your knees to ask for pets. Gizmo gets along wonderfully with the other two Chihuahuas in his foster home and is an easy, low-maintenance companion. He still barks a bit at new people, so slow introductions work best. When he first arrived, he marked indoors and wore a belly band, but that's greatly improved with time and consistency. His foster says she absolutely adores him-and it's easy to see why. Gizmo is ready to find his forever person who will give him the same patience, love, and understanding that helped him blossom.
