About Gizmo

Gizmo is a lively, playful pup eager to find his forever home. He’s approximately 7 months old and weighs around 40 pounds when fully grown. Having come to us from a rural Virginia shelter, Gizmo was surrendered because his previous owner had too many pets. He has a friendly and social nature, making him a great companion. Gizmo gets along well with other dogs, and reports indicate that he is good with kids. Though we don't have specific details on how he interacts with cats, we're happy to conduct a cat test upon request. While we still have to learn more about his likes and dislikes, he shows a lot of promise as an affectionate furry friend. If you're interested in bringing Gizmo into your life, check out our adoption events every Saturday and Sunday or contact us to set up a meeting during the week. Ready to start your journey together?
