About Gismo

Meet Gismo! At just 9 weeks old, he has already captured hearts since being born beneath the steps of a kind stranger’s home in Aguada, Puerto Rico. His mama was abandoned on the streets, but Gismo has grown up surrounded by love and care. This playful, curious little guy is bursting with puppy personality and is eager to find a forever home. Gismo’s mom is small, so he’s expected to remain small, weighing about 6 lbs currently. He has started his vaccinations and deworming already, making him ready for his new adventure. Gismo is searching for a family where he can explore, grow, and receive all the affection he deserves. While he is located in Puerto Rico, arrangements can be made to fly him anywhere in the U.S. to his new home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
