My story

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

My Requirements:
-Must be only pet
-Kids 8 years and older

Hello, I’m Gordy — friend to everyone I meet!

I’m house-trained, crate-trained, and know all my manners. A professional trainer even called me a star student!

This is what my foster parents have to say about me, `Gordy loves nothing more than to be with his people either snuggling, eating, or on a walk. He`s a very smart and motivated learner, especially when treats and affirmations are involved. Gordy is one of the most loving, loyal dogs we have ever met! When you are his human, he will do anything to be around or near you. He`s always down for a car ride or new adventure! While he is still working on his leash manners, he is ready for training! He would do best as an only dog in a home as he still gets too excited by other dogs.`

I’d fit right in just about anywhere. All I need is a chance. I have grown-up manners, puppy-level charm, and was born to love.

Not quite ready to commit? I’d be thrilled if you gave me a try as a foster to adopt!
