About Gonzo

Gonzo is a 2-year-old male terrier mix looking for a calm and loving home. He thrives on human companionship but can be shy, taking some time to warm up to new people and situations. With patience and a nurturing environment, he shows great potential to blossom. He's eager to learn and responds well, especially when treats are involved, making him a fun training companion. Gonzo would prefer to be the only dog in the household, as he can be socially awkward with other dogs. Additionally, he does not get along with cats and may find young, noisy children overwhelming. A mature, quiet home would be ideal for him. Gonzo is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations, ready to meet someone special. This pet qualifies for the 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program, so if youโ€™re interested in fostering to adopt, reach out to meetme@arl-iowa.org. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
