Gizmo is a walking contradiction in fur form — all muscle, no awareness of it. He’s a giant goofball who hasn’t quite realized that his body could double as a wrecking ball if he gets the zoomies in a small space.
Gizmo was found tied to a tree with no note, no backstory, and no idea how he ended up there. While we don’t know his past, we’re writing him a much better chapter now. In his foster home, he’s proven to be a social butterfly in a linebacker’s body — he plays well with his foster dog sibling and is learning that not every interaction needs to be at full throttle.
He’s working on leash manners and basic obedience, though we’ll be honest: Gizmo tends to “act first, think later.” It’s part of his charm — that frat boy energy that keeps his foster laughing (and occasionally saying “Gizmo, what are you doing?!”).
If you’ve got a sense of humor, a love for big personalities, and maybe a little patience for a lovable chaos gremlin in a Rottweiler suit, Gizmo just might be your guy.

Additional adoption info
We try to make the adoption process as smooth, convenient and easy as possible. We treat each animal as an individual and take that into account when approving applications. While one dog may require a 6ft privacy fenced in yard, another may be just as happy going on walks and living in an apartment. We consider the home set up and lifestyle of Adopters in regard to the pet they are interested in more than other barriers.

We'll connect you with the pet’s foster family so you can arrange a meet-and-greet!
If the pet you're interested in is located at Base Camp instead of a foster home, we'll give you a call to schedule an appointment. Be sure to follow us on social media to stay up to date on upcoming adoption events!
