About Gomez

Meet Gomez! This little guy has a BIG personality and an even bigger heart. Gomez is a handsome 4-year-old Dachshund mix weighing in at 18 pounds. Despite his small stature, he exudes confidence and charm. He came into rescue after being seized from a cruel situation and arrived with significant medical issues, including pneumonia and dental neglect. Fortunately, he has received the veterinary care he needed and is now ready for a forever home. Gomez has a willful streak, believing he reigns as the king of his castle. Therefore, he absolutely needs another laid-back canine companion in his new home—preferably one that lets him take the lead. He adores humans and loves snuggling, showcasing his affectionate nature. However, Gomez is still working on house training and will need an understanding family willing to guide him. An important note: Gomez exhibits food guarding behaviors and should be fed separately in a quiet space. He has no issues with treats, making this manageable with a caring family. His ideal home would be adult-only and without cats, ensuring a stress-free environment. After overcoming so much, Gomez is on his way to discovering the joys of life. He’s looking for a family that will embrace his quirks and offer him the love and patience he deserves. In return, you’ll gain a devoted little snuggle buddy who’s sure to bring a smile to your face every day. Ready to give Gomez the happy ending he’s been waiting for? Apply to adopt!
