My personality

My story

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

*GORDO, the Gentle Giant* / 3 yrs old, male pittie mix
-so sweet, loving, and loyal
-very smart, check out his obstacle-course video!
-ideal home is one without other dogs or young children

Gordo is a 3-year-old pittie and gets overlooked by so many. He’s been with us for quite some time, and he is just the handsomest, sweetest boy who deserves a home like all of his buddies he watches walk out our door. We asked our volunteers what their fav thing about Gordo is: "That little blockhead has a funny high-pitch squeal when he’s worked up. It doesn’t match his body at all. When I go in his kennel, he grabs my leash and runs around with it because he knows he’s going for a walk. Once I get his collar on him, he’ll drop the leash. When you bring him back to his kennel, the first thing he does is flop like a seal in his pool." He’s our water-loving, nature boy who deserves the world!!

Gordo has the biggest heart and the sweetest soul. He may look strong and sturdy, but he’s truly a gentle giant who just wants to find someone to love. Gordo can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience and time, he warms up and shows his true, loving personality. Once he trusts you, he’s all in—loyal, affectionate, and ready to be your best friend for life.

Pit bulls like Gordo are known for their deep bonds with their humans, their playful nature, and their incredible loyalty. Gordo is no exception. He loves a good walk, but his favorite thing is playing with his toys and relaxing by your side - soaking up all the love he can get.

Gordo has been waiting for someone who will give him the chance to show just how sweet and gentle he is. He deserves a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and understood. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will always have your back, Gordo is the one.

Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up-to-date on vaccines, deworming, heartworm tested, a supply of heartworm preventative, and microchip.

Additional adoption info

We want to ensure a lifelong placement for the rescued animal so at Second Chance Dog Rescue Mansfield we do our best to match potential adopters with their perfect pet. Our adoption process includes an initial application, with a home visit, references and vet checks. If the match is a good one, we then finalize the adoption and wish you happy tails. We are always available to help with the transition to a new home. We check in during the first few weeks to answer any questions or help with any issues. We also love hearing you brag about your new adopted fur baby and love getting updates throughout the year.
