About Gordo

Gordo is a sweet Bulldog/Lab mix who brings a gentle spirit to his surroundings. At 2-3 years old, this black and white male has a timid side, often feeling shy in the shelter. Despite this, his calm nature shines through — he's housebroken and enjoys his daily walks, where he displays good leash manners. Having previously shared his home with dogs, Gordo would thrive best with other canines that share his gentle demeanor. While he has lived with children, he would be happiest in a home with kids over 10 years old, allowing him the time he needs to adjust. Gordo is neutered and his vaccinations are up to date, ready for a new loving home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
