Why I need a new home

Landlord permission issues

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gizmo has been in my family his whole life. Born on Christmas day (12/25/15) he is 8 years old currently.

My sister gave him to me because she was moving and no longer had room for him. I took him in without permission of my apartment complex. I am a stay at home mom of a baby that’s 8 months old.

He needs a backyard with a good fence. He's loves being cuddled and laying on your lap.

He's had a few seizures in the past and doesn't take any medication.

He’s a very calm dog, gets zoomies after a bath and when he goes outside. He is an escape artist but always comes back home. He loves to cuddle and takes baths easily. He gets really excited when he knows he’s about to get food. He'll stand up and dance around.

My sister had gizmo and I had his brother, gadget, about 3 years ago. He died protecting gizmo from two big dogs that had invaded our backyard, so it is my personal mission to find a really good home for gizmo.
