Gizmo Local Dog's Story

TO APPLY:<br/>1) copy/paste this link https://gdrne.com/adopt/adoption-application/ <br/>2) OR at the bottom of the page click on "Adoption Policy" and then it will bring up the adoption application.<br/><br/><br/>Meet Gizmo (formerly known as Gator) This spirited boy recently went solo with his music career hence his name change and we think a rebrand is just what he needed! He's approx. 1-year-old and weighed 65 lbs (as of 3/9/26). We think he's a Border Collie / Shepherd mix but what he really is is a superstar! And he's looking forward to finding the best groupies! <br/><br/>If you're looking for a dog that:<br/>-is comfortable in his crate<br/>-eager to spend time with you and other dogs (especially young ones that could be his playmate)<br/>-enjoys chew toys and likes to play<br/>-loves to be petted and loves to give kisses<br/><br/>Then look no further! Gizmo is the perfect pup for you! This fun boy will immediately make you wish you had found him sooner and he's more than happy to spice up your very dull life!<br/><br/>When he's not teaching you how to dance to the beat of your own drum, Gizmo enjoys short forays into the yard and taking in all the scents of the outdoors. Is it a squirrel? Is it a bird? Whatever it is, Gizmo will find out! He's a real Velcro dog and will probably lean on your leg as he walks by your side. He knows you don't have any friends, so he'll never leave you. How thoughtful! Like a true superstar, he also has the softest, silkiest black "otter" fur that gleams, cute tuxedo markings on his chest, and white tipped paws. You'll want to pet his soft coat for hours and never go to work again. And you know what? Gizmo thinks that's a great idea. <br/><br/>This boy's energy is infectious and his jokes at your expense are sure to make you laugh. What can he say? You're the perfect inspiration for his stand-up routine. You should be flattered! Gizmo is incredibly friendly with everyone he meets and while he hasn't met kids yet, he hopes his gentle and playful nature will make him a good companion to the rowdy kids in your life. <br/><br/>While this superstar is house trained, he's still had a few accidents so he asks that his future groupies have patience with him as he adjusts to your home. He's crate trained, does wonderfully on a leash, and enjoys car rides, making him the ideal adventure buddy for when you're exploring a new grocery store or stalking your ex. He won't judge you! Stalk away! At the end of the day, Gizmo is just as happy to snuggle up with you and relax. <br/><br/>What are you waiting for? Bring Gizmo home today!<br/><br/>All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.<br/><br/>To adopt or learn more about Gizmo, you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, copy and paste this URL into your browser: WWW.GDRNE.COM/ADOPTION-APPLICATION [Adoption Fee: $495] ** <br/><br/>PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works.<br/><br/>Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted. To learn more about our *shelterless* rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of Frequently Asked Questions on our website at WWW.GDRNE.COM.
