Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Meet Gordon, a charming small terrier/chihuahua mix with irresistibly good looks and a gentle demeanor. Gordon has come a long way from a challenging past—rescued from a difficult hoarding situation with nearly 100 dogs, he has been learning what it means to trust in his loving foster home. His canine friends provide him a sense of safety, and he truly blossoms when he's around other dogs. While still feral and shy with people, Gordon delights in play and exploration, requiring experienced adopters who understand the needs of dogs with limited human contact. Gordon is not suited for homes with cats, as his playful instincts can get the best of him, and he is best in quiet households without young children as he may startle easily. He is making progress every day: offering eye contact, responding to gentle verbal corrections, using puppy pads, and calmly sleeping in his crate or pen. Gordon needs someone patient and dedicated, willing to let him continue decompressing and come out of his shell at his own pace. Food is a big motivator and will help strengthen your bond as his trust grows. If you have an understanding home and loving heart, Gordon could be the loyal companion you’ve been searching for. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
