Gizmo came into ADL’s care as a stray so his past is a mystery. He is blind but quickly adapts to new spaces. His foster blocks stairs to avoid him falling and his forever home should have no stairs or stairs should be blocked/he should be carried to avoid injury. He’s great at navigating new homes, but should be secured when left alone to avoid him getting lost/injured. He is a sweet, loving pup who is mellow and loves to go for walks and be spoiled!
