About Gizmo and Oliver

Meet Gizmo and Oliver, two tiny companions who have formed a special bond and are looking for their forever home together. Oliver is a 12-year-old, 6-pound Chihuahua. Though he is healthy, he is a quiet little boy who tends to be frightened of his surroundings. He loves to curl up in his cozy dog bed on the porch, watching other dogs play. Patience is key with Oliver; he needs someone who understands that trust develops over time and will allow him to come out of his shell at his own pace. On the other hand, Gizmo, known as “The Gremlin,” is an 8-pound, 12-year-old neutered Chihuahua mix. He is lively and full of energy, eager to be involved in daily activities and to be with his person. Although these two boys have contrasting personalities, their special relationship is evident. We are seeking a thoughtful home that will embrace both of them, providing the love and time they deserve. Gizmo and Oliver would also appreciate a sponsorship to support their ongoing care while awaiting their new family. If interested in adopting this dynamic duo, please fill out an application. Approved applicants must have verifiable veterinary history and be willing to adopt in the Tampa area. We do not adopt outside of Florida. Let’s find them the perfect forever home together!
