About Gordo

Meet Gordo! He's a 1-year-old Jack Russell mix, weighing about 16 pounds. Gordo came to us after being surrendered by a neighbor of his previous owner, and while we’re still getting to know him, we can already see that this little guy has a lot of potential and love to offer. He tends to feel nervous around new people and situations, likely due to a lack of socialization in his early life. To help him settle in, Gordo needs a patient adopter who understands the value of slow introductions and gentle handling. With some reassurance and a calm approach, he can build the confidence he needs. Gordo arrived with his bonded companion, Blanca. They share a unique connection, and we hope to see them adopted together. Keeping them together will provide comfort and ease their transition into a new home. If you have the space in your heart for two deserving dogs, Gordo and Blanca could be the perfect fit for your family. Ready to meet this sweet pair?
