Meet Gizmo—a 9.5 lb bundle of joy with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This 11-month-old black and tan Miniature Pinscher, with his natural ears and tail, is the definition of fun-loving energy. Gizmo approaches life at full speed, turning every moment into playtime and every toy into an adventure. Whether he’s tossing his toys in the air, chasing them down, or giving them a good “shake,” he’s a self-entertaining little guy who knows how to have a blast. Despite his high energy, Gizmo has a sweet and affectionate side. Once he’s gotten his zoomies out, he’s more than happy to curl up and cuddle with his favorite human. He hasn’t shown any aggression and is incredibly loving, but because of his enthusiasm and busy nature, he would do best in a home without small children and not in an apartment setting. He’s looking for an active family that can match his energy and provide the structure, training, and socialization he needs to thrive. Gizmo’s story makes him even more special. Rescued from an animal shelter after being found injured on the streets, he spent time receiving veterinary care for wounds believed to be caused by abuse. Yet, this resilient little guy holds no grudges—he greets the world with joy, trust, and an open heart. His ability to forgive and love so freely is truly remarkable. Now, Gizmo is ready for his forever home—a place where he can feel safe, secure, and deeply loved. In return, he promises endless entertainment, loyal companionship, and a lifetime of affection. Gizmo is located in California and will only be adopted in California, or possibly an adjacent state. We will not fly this boy.
