Gizmo 's Story
THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TEXAS. HER ADOPTION DONATION IS $575 AND INCLUDES TRANSPORT. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO AS IT INCLUDES INFORMATION AS TO OUR SCREENING PROCESS. <br/><br/>***Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time***<br/><br/>We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.<br/><br/><br/>Please note our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation. <br/><br/>Gizmo, 8 weeks (DOB estimated November 2025), male, Pitbull Terrier/Retriever mix, estimated to be a large size when full grown. Currently in a foster home in Texas and able to transport. <br/><br/>Gizmo and his siblings were rescued with their mom the end of last year. Lilly (mom) was spotted at an abandoned building appearing very pregnant. When she disappeared for a few weeks, rescuers suspected she had her puppies. They found them sometime later on a dirt floor in a barn. Lilly found the safest place she could for her new family. These rescuers made posts asking for rescues to help get this family into a home. Lilly is a brindle Pitbull and we included a picture of her for reference. She is about 55 pounds. We do not know all the breeds this group is mixed with so take your best guesses with us. We also do not know how big any of them will be full grown. We believe they were born middle of November. <br/><br/>While we don’t know all the breeds in the mix or how big the puppies will be fully grown, we estimate Gizmo and his siblings were born around mid-November.<br/><br/>Gizmo is the goofball of the group. His foster mom describes him as intuitive, silly, and the jokester among his siblings—the puppy always ready to make you laugh. He has a sweet, people-loving nature and does well with kids and other dogs, making him a wonderful candidate for a family setting.<br/><br/>Like all puppies his age, Gizmo is still learning everything about the world. His adopter must be committed to:<br/><br/>Consistent training and positive guidance<br/><br/>Socialization and structure<br/><br/>Patience, time, and understanding of normal puppy behaviors<br/><br/>A puppy this young cannot be left alone all day. If you work outside the home for a full workday, you will need to clearly explain who will be home with Gizmo and how his needs will be met in order to be considered. He is not housebroken or crate trained. <br/><br/>Gizmo is more than just a cute puppy—he’s a lifelong commitment who will grow into the dog you help shape him to be. If you’re ready to invest the time, love, and responsibility that comes with raising a young pup, Gizmo is ready to return that devotion tenfold.<br/><br/>Could Gizmo be your new best friend?<br/><br/><br/>***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. ***<br/><br/>Interested in applying to adopt him?
