Gizmo's Story

Meet Gizmo, a 4.5-year-old Papillon mix who would like to formally inform you that he is not, in fact, a dog. He is a cat. We have tried explaining this to him, but he remains committed to the bit. <br/><br/>Named after the adorable little Gremlin, Gizmo has the personality to match--cute, quirky, and just a tiny bit opinionated. And when we say opinionated, we mean this boy has a voice and is not afraid to use it. He will happily let you know what he thinks about pretty much everything.<br/><br/>Gizmo enjoys being around his people and will happily hang out nearby, observe your activities, and generally keep you company. But should you attempt to turn that companionship into cuddling? Absolutely not. Have you lost your mind? <br/><br/>Gizmo is more avoidant than affectionate and would prefer that you admire him from a respectful distance. He isn't looking to pick a fight--he simply believes personal space is a wonderful thing and would like you to respect his boundaries. But there is one way to get on Gizmo's good side: snacks. Food is a language he understands very well. <br/><br/>Fortunately, Gizmo has plenty of other redeeming qualities! He walks nicely on leash, enjoys getting out and about, and plays well with most other dogs. He's independent, entertaining, vocal, and perfectly happy to do his own thing while still being part of the action.<br/><br/>So, if your ideal dog is less "snuggle bug" and more "eccentric roommate who occasionally goes for walks with you, loudly shares his opinions, and will absolutely accept snacks," Gizmo would like to hear from you. <br/><br/>Just don't touch him. <br/><br/>Seriously.<br/><br/>He has boundaries.
