About Gonzo

Meet Gonzo! This happy little Chihuahua mix recently arrived from Santa Clara Animal Services and is now in a cozy foster home, patiently waiting for his forever family. Gonzo is a delightful companion who adores human attention and brings joy to everyone around him. While he's still adjusting to his new surroundings, he has shown himself to be easy-going and friendly, especially with other dogs of similar size. Gonzo enjoys meeting new faces, but he can be startled by loud noises. His ideal home would be with adult adopters or families with dog-savvy children over 12 years old. He would thrive in a household with another pup, though his compatibility with cats isn't known yet. Ready to welcome Gonzo into your heart? Click apply to start the adoption process.
