**Meet Gordon!** Gordon is a 3-year-old Coonhound mix weighing about 36 lbs, and he's a sweet boy who just needs a little time to find his footing again. Right now, Gordon is feeling a bit down at the rescue and could really benefit from a calm, loving home where he can decompress and build his confidence. Despite how he's feeling, he's incredibly sweet and loves affection - he just needs a patient person to help him feel safe and secure. Gordon would do best in a lower-energy household that can give him time to adjust at his own pace. Interestingly, he's a fan of high-energy dogs and may enjoy having a playful canine companion once he's settled in. With a little patience and a lot of love, Gordon has all the potential to blossom into a happy, confident companion.
