About Gonzo

Gonzo was found wandering as a stray on a scorching 90-degree day, clearly in distress. Luckily, Natasha rescued him and took him in after an exhaustive search for his owner. Although she planned to adopt him, Gonzo felt overwhelmed by her toddlers, leading her to realize her home wasn't ideal for him. At 7 years old, this Chihuahua/Terrier mix has a sweet and loving nature. He’s healthy, fully vaccinated, and gets along well with other pets. Gonzo enjoys leisurely walks and loves curling up in a cozy lap. This affectionate dog is house trained and ready to find a calm and loving home where he can truly shine. This could be the start of something paw-some.
