GIZMO is a happy, active puppy! He is mostly potty trained (either on potty pads or outside), will sit for treats, and enjoys either excited play or quiet snuggles, depending on his mood. At a max of 15 lbs (he's about 10 - 12 right now), he would be good for either condo-dwellers or homeowners. He enjoys zooming around the back yard, so a well fenced yard or trips to the dog park will be a must!
GIZMO, a male italian greyhound / miniature rat terrier (pure speculation) baby, was pulled from the Harris County Shelter on the day he was scheduled to be euthanized. He had a laundry list of ailments (demodex mange, dehydration, starvation, bacterial infection, eye infections, ear infections), but he had the will to survive!
See GIZMO's journey to a happy, healthy puppy on his Facebook page at "Gizmo, the Mangy Puppy from Harris County."
