Gizmo landed at the shelter at 8 months old after being surrendered with another dog. He’s the definition of lively—his perked ears and constant smile give him a lot of charm, and he doesn’t skimp on the energy. Gizmo is truly a friendly dog with a playful streak that sometimes outpaces his focus, but he pays attention—especially when treats are involved. He knows how to sit, but four-on-the-floor greetings need polishing. You won’t meet many dogs as animated as this one. Despite a dislocated hip from a past trauma that led to a locked knee, Gizmo barely slows down. He runs and jumps, seemingly unbothered, and our vet says therapy or surgery might help his leg if needed. He gets along well with other dogs and children and is motivated by all things fun. Ready for someone to help channel all his joy and bring out the best in him. Click apply to start the adoption process.
