Gizmo is a 10-month-old, 9-lb Chihuahua/Terrier mix who packs a whole lot of charm into a tiny body. This little guy is full of energy, spunk, and playful puppy spirit, but he also has a tender side—he can be shy in new places or when meeting new people. With a little patience (and a few tasty treats), he warms up beautifully and shows his sweet, goofy personality.
Gizmo is happiest when he’s playing fetch, chewing on bones, or heading out on a walk to explore the world. Once he feels safe, he’s a joyful, expressive pup who loves to be part of the action.
Great With… Dogs: Yes!
Cats: Yes!
Kids: He does well once he has time to warm up.
Training & Skills He’s currently working on crate training, potty training, and basics like sit. He’s a smart little guy who just needs consistency and encouragement.
Quirks & Needs Gizmo can be very nervous in new situations or when first meeting strangers. He’ll need a family who understands that adjusting takes time—but once he feels comfortable, he blossoms into a fun, affectionate companion.
Ideal Home Gizmo’s perfect match is a patient home willing to give him the space and reassurance he needs to settle in at his own pace. With love and consistency, he’ll reward you with loyalty, playfulness, and endless small-dog charm.
