About Gizmo

Meet Gizmo, an adorable puppy who just joined our rescue from Amarillo, Texas. This 18-week-old charmer has fluffy tan and white fur and a look reminiscent of an Australian Shepherd mixed with a golden retriever, though we're not quite sure of his exact breed. He's lively and friendly, getting along wonderfully with other puppies and people alike. Gizmo is still too young to be neutered, so we’re offering him on a foster-to-adopt basis. This means you’ll have partial ownership until you can have him neutered, using the $50 voucher we provide. Once that’s done, you’ll finalize the adoption, and we’ll return the neuter guarantee payment. If you’re ready to bring home a playful new friend, fill out an application on our website. Gizmo can't wait to meet you!
