Gordon 's Story

Are you looking for an 8-pound ball of energy and love? Look no further! Charlotte, NC 📍 Meet Gordon, a handsome 3-year-old Chiweenie, neutered male who has heartbreakingly been returned to animal control THREE times 💔 Gordon is now safe with Hamilton’s Dog Rescue and looking for his people! Gordon is a lot... 🤣 but in the best way. He is full of personality, energy, and unconditional love. He can be a bit of an escape artist, and sometimes he likes to let the other dogs know he thinks he is the boss. He loves our cat and sheep, and he loves most people and most dogs. As for un-neutered male dogs. Gordon is not a fan, lol. ⚠️ He will charge a 100lb male dog with balls... no a single regret haha! We are looking for someone with experience handling high-energy small dogs. Think Jack Russell energy in a tiny little body 🤣 We absolutely LOVE Gordon. He has been in our foster home for almost 4 months. He has attended training classes and really loves to learn. Like most smart, active dogs, when he is not being challenged, exercised, or mentally engaged, he gets bored and starts looking for trouble... kind of like a toddler. Gordon loves snuggling in bed and watching TV, but he can also run and play in the backyard with his foster siblings for over 7 hours straight! He does best with smaller, friendly dogs. We had 3 dogs he did not like at first, but after some time and patience, they worked it out and now they are best friends! More than anything, Gordon needs someone who will help him feel safe, build trust, and ***show him that he will never be abandoned again*** He is absolutely worth the time, patience, and love it will take. He really is the best little guy 🥹 Email us at info@gilmoredogrescue.com to schedule a meet and greet! We promise after a few days with him, he will steal your heart and maybe someone of your pillows 🤣

Gilmore Gardens Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

We do things a little differently at Gilmore Dog Rescue! Instead of a traditional application, we use a simple intake form and a foster waiver (release of liability) to get started. Here’s how to become the proud new parent of one of our beloved Gilmore Guests: 1. Schedule a Meet & Greet *must live in Charlotte, NC**** Reach out via email or text to set up a meet and greet with Antonio, Shelley, or the foster parent of the dog you’re interested in. We require an in-home visit to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for the dog. Before your visit, please email your veterinary reference(s) to shelley@gilmoredogrescue.com ******** Once Shelley approves your references and the dog is comfortable in your home, you’ll move into the Foster-to-Adopt stage. 2. Foster-to-Adopt Trial This trial period gives everyone—humans and pups—a chance to make sure it’s the right fit. It’s especially important if there are other pets, children, or elderly family members in the home. ****We do not allow same-day adoptions. Every dog must go through this foster process to help ensure it’s a forever home. 3. Final Adoption The length of the foster trial varies and will be discussed with a Gilmore Dog Rescue representative based on the dog’s needs and your situation. Once you’re fully committed to adoption, a representative will return for a final wellness check. The adoption fee is $250, and Shelley will send over the final adoption paperwork for legal transfer. And just like that, you’re officially a Gilmore Dog parent!
