About Gordo

Gordo is a handsome 1 1/2 year old, 50 pound, labrador retriever mix who was saved from euthanasia at a high-kill Texas shelter with minutes to spare. He is a shy guy who takes a bit to really open up to new people. Gordo has a wonderful woman who has been working with him on socialization and leash training. She reports that he is doing well on outings, meeting new people of all ages, walking on a leash and getting baths. Sudden movements from strangers can startle him, and he is a bit scared of loud vehicles. He rides well in the car and really enjoys his outings. He has shown no interest in other dogs or cats. Gordo will require patience to warm up, but after a few days of treats and gentle approaches, he will be your best friend. Gordo is currently in Texas but can be transported to an approved adopter. Can you be the kind, loving, patient furever home that Gordo is waiting for?
