About Gio

Gio is a charming 6-year-old lurcher, a mix of Greyhound, showcasing a sweet and affectionate nature. Weighing around 60 lbs, he's on the smaller side for his breed. Gio thrives on belly rubs and cuddles, and he easily walks on a leash without pulling or being reactive to others. Around the house, he's calm, often cozying up on a dog bed. Potty trained and crate trained, he has adapted well to home life. While he can get a bit excited around food, his food motivation makes training a breeze. Currently, he lives harmoniously with a female dog and a child, though he can be playful with other dogs. Gio has also spent some time around cats with success, though he may chase a skittish cat or one he spots outdoors. This lovable pup is fostered in the Bondurant area, and potential adopters must meet him locally. Seeking a gentle companion who enjoys comfy blankets and a relaxed lifestyle? Gio might just be the perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
