About Gizmo

Meet Gizmo, a lively Boxer mix filled with puppy energy and sweetness. At just 4 months old and around 20 lbs, he’s expected to grow to about 35-40 lbs. Gizmo loves to engage with his foster siblings, wrestling, chasing toys, and absolutely thrives on treats or kibble. This adorable pup is smart too; he already knows how to sit and has begun learning leash manners, although he sometimes takes a break when his little legs grow tired. Gizmo has come a long way since a past injury — he had a broken leg, but you’d hardly know it by his adventurous spirit. He enjoys going to the park and showing off how playful he can be. He’s doing well with crate training and has made strides in potty training, all while being happy, affectionate, and loving towards everyone. He gets along wonderfully with both dogs and children. The only thing he’s unsure about is the giant blow-up witch from the neighbor’s yard; she still gives him pause. So, what do you think? Could Gizmo be the new addition to your family? Your new best friend is just one click away.
