Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gordo is about 9 years old and weighs just under 15 lbs. Gordo is a sweet boy who is very playful, but also likes to snuggle. He gets along well with other small dogs, but prefers to be without feline friends. He loves being outside, but he does need some work on leash walking, as he tends to bark and pull at people/other animals
He was brought to animal control to be euthanized due what they said was reoccurring gall stones. After taking him to our vet we found that Gordo has a couple tiny bladder stones. Those stones are in the process of being evaluated and then we will determine if he needs to be on a special diet. in addition, he also had begin masses removed from his mouth and his neck, and he had a mast cell tumor removed from his side that showed good margins.
Gordo is a nice boy who is looking for an amazing adopter to love out his golden years. Could it be you?? Gordo's adoption donation of $300 helps cover the cost of his medical care.
