About Gopher

Meet Gopher, a playful little pup with a big personality. He knows how to enjoy life, running around in the yard and indulging in fun with his toys. Gopher loves to play with other dogs, including his 45-pound foster sister, and is always up for a game of chase. While he's small in size, he certainly makes up for it with his spirited energy. Well-mannered at home, Gopher isn't destructive and does his business outside. He holds it through the night but is still learning to signal when he needs to go out. Having shared space with cats, he mostly ignores them but will bark if they hiss. Take it slow with introductions, as he can be shy with new people—especially men—but with a bit of patience, he'll open up and show his lovable nature. Gopher prefers to be wherever his humans are, making him the perfect companion for a family that enjoys being together. This sweet boy is ready to find a forever home, and we think he'll steal your heart! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
