My name is Gizmo, MoeMoe, or anything else that rhymes with Gizmo. I am 11 years old, neutered, current on my vaccines, microchipped and heartworm negative. I am a big ol' boy, weighing in at around 20 pounds, but I'm workin' on it! My ideal family is an adult-only home with a fenced-in yard and no other pets. I would love to be the center of attention. I'll be fine with a kitty and/or another small, calm dog if I have to, but kiddos are non-negotiable! I have been through a whole lot, so please forgive me. As a tiny puppy, I was physically abused, so I moved to a new home�'�| my new home was a little better, but not much. I was neglected there and kept in my crate ALL of the time. So, I was posted on Facebook where a really kind lady came to my rescue. Oh boy, I was in BAD shape. I was extra chunky, had double ear infections, and had a cracked tooth. I've had some dental work, but I'll be honest with ya, there will need to be more in my future�'�| I'm just not ready quite yet. Anyways, the nice lady who helped me out unfortunately can't keep me, but she will be fostering me until I find my perfect home. She has helped me so much and knows me better than anyone, so it only makes sense. This nice lady has prepared a 'pros and cons' list of my habits or whatever�'�| so I guess I'll share. I know it's best to share everything about myself to ensure I get the best home, because let me tell ya, I am NOT movin' again after this, ladies and gentlemen! So, here's the scoop- PROS: -I am a smarty pants who knows lots of commands (cage, come, leave it, stop, sit, no) -I am a snuggly love bug who enjoys cuddling! But at nighttime, I want to sleep in my own bed -I really like my crate, I won't even bark in there! -I am super good in the car, just in case you wanna take me on a road trip -I will allow you to clean my ears and give me a pedicure with no problems -I like kitty cats and doggies who are not hyper or dominant -I enjoy hanging outside and bathing in the sun CONS: -I will potty inside if you don't let me out regularly (and I mean regularly, sorry!) -I bark at everything and anything: people who walk by outside�'�|people who come inside�'�|squirrels�'�|.air�'�| -I do NOT like kids-I come off as a bit aggressive towards them, but I have never bitten anyone -I am going to need my teeth cleaned again in the future, probably with some extractions So, yeah! That's about it. I am located in Columbus, OH and I am available for an adoption fee of $200.00 (unless you're a senior, then we can be together furever for just $100.00).
