My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gonzo is the perfdect companion for a single woman with no other dogs, but a cat or two who are ok with dogs will be ok with him..
Gonzo lived with an elderly lady all 12 years of his life. When the lady no longer could care for herself she moved into the home of a married offspring who has children. Gonzo nipped at the kids and didn't like the husband so the family dumped him at a regional pound.

Gonzo was obviously loved by the elderly lady but was medically neglected. When we took him in he needed 25 teeth pulled - many of which fell out on their own during the surgery. He must have been in terrible pain!

For a 12 year old Gonzo is energetic and bouncy. He had blood work done at our Vet and is in perfect health overall. He could easily live another 8+ years!!

Now that Gonzo's mouth has healed up, he is happy and playful. He eats canned food made into a thick slurry with a little warm water.

It is very obvious that Gonzo would be the perfect companion for a single woman with no other dogs. Gonzo generally doesn't like men (he will nip - painless considering he has no teeth) but men do stress him even when they are nice to him.

He also has a hard time around other dogs...not getting along with most, even small ones, here at CCR.

If you are home a lot and want a loving little boy, Gonzo could be the one for you!!
