As a gentleman, he is calm, polite, and a perfect houseguest, having never had an accident since arriving. He sleeps soundly in his crate through the night with no fuss. He does have a small habit of climbing onto coffee tables if something piques his interest—think of him as your personal household inspector. When he wants attention, he may hop up next to you for a gentle nudge. His lightweight stature makes this more of a polite tap than a tackle. Gordon is your shadow and snuggle buddy, wanting to be wherever his people are. Whether you're lounging on the couch or working from home, he’ll always be by your side, looking at you like you hung the moon. His entrance is always cheerful; he prances over in greeting, making it hard not to smile. He’s social with other dogs, enjoying playtime and sunbathing with his foster sister. Gordon respects older dogs, showing gentleness in their company. He loves toys but can get bored, so sturdy ones are a must to keep him engaged. While he hasn’t met children or cats yet, his sweet demeanor suggests he may adapt well with them. If you want a low-key companion who will warm your lap and guard your coffee table, Gordon is your guy.
