Personality: energetic, snuggler, independent, loyal, smart, mischievous, outgoing, affectionate, and goofy/funny.
Gimlet is a truly special terrier — bright, funny, and deeply connected to his people. He loves meeting new humans and warms up quickly, often leaning in for snuggles and happily bringing over toys to invite play. He’s also a wonderful companion who rarely barks. At home, he’s content and easy to live with: He’s house trained and trusted uncrated, opting to relax on his dog bed when left alone. He also enjoys listening to music and looking out the window, and he especially enjoys walks in wooded areas. When he’s feeling a bit mischievous, he has the adorable habit of stealing a shoe to snuggle with like it’s a teddy bear.
What really sets Gimlet apart is his intelligence. He’s highly food motivated and knows a long and growing list of words, including sit, stay, wait, touch, paw, and lie down. He thrives on enrichment like treat puzzles and interactive games, and he even served as a game tester for CleverPet — he’s that quick to learn. He had a blast in agility class, but he’s not a dog-park guy and prefers quieter outings. In the right adults-only home, where he can be the only dog and have a calm, consistent routine, Gimlet will be an incredibly loyal, affectionate, and entertaining best friend.

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats. To answer your questions about included vaccinations, spay/neuter, etc., the adoption process, and more please visit at www.citydogsrescuedc.org
If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, we are still accepting additional applications, as they sometimes fall through. If the animal is adopted by someone else, your application will be kept on file and you will not need to reapply for a different dog. Look at our available dogs and apply to adopt a dog at www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adopt-foster/adopt-a-dog/
