He sleeps indoors in a shared kennel area.<br/><br/>He absolutely loves food—likely due to past food insecurity—so keeping an eye on his portions is recommended.<br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/>Gordito would thrive in a calm home where he can be a true companion. He's a perfect match for someone looking for a relaxed, affectionate dog—whether that's a quieter household, a senior, or a family ready to welcome a loyal and loving presence into their lives.<br/><br/>Rescue Story<br/>Gordito spent over three years surviving in an empty lot with a group of stray dogs. While kind neighbors provided occasional food, life was still incredibly harsh. Over time, the group dwindled until only three dogs remained.<br/><br/>In 2024, a group of compassionate rescuers stepped in and saved them. While the others have since found homes, Gordito is still waiting.<br/><br/>Despite everything he's been through, Gordito remains incredibly resilient, happy, and full of love. His past has shaped him into the calm, gentle, and deeply appreciative dog he is today.<br/><br/>Location: Mexico (ready to travel to WA with a committed 10-day trial home)<br/>Adoption Fee: $600<br/>Apply at: www.northwestwagrescue.org
