My personality

My story

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

Age: 6 years

Size: 16 lbs

Estimated breed: Chihuahua/terrier mix

Gizmo came to us from a home with good intentions, who quickly became overwhelmed by the number of dogs in the home due to a few unexpected litters. This is why we will ALWAYS preach spay/neuter! Fortunately, the family reached out for help, and we were able to split the family with another local rescue. They are all in foster care and looking for forever homes!

Gizmo is around 6 years old and weighs 16 lbs. His former owner described him as the sweetest of them all, and we have to agree! He's a sweet, mature guy who does well with dogs, cats, and people. We have not seen him with kids yet. He loves being with people and has quickly become foster mom's shadow. He's not used to the crate or leash but is picking up on both quickly and responds well to verbal praise and treats! He'll fit into most homes and families as long as they have plenty of love to give him.

To adopt Gizmo, please apply on our website! https://www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training.

Additional adoption info

Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Nirvana Animal Rescue! Our adoption process is in place to ensure we find you the perfect match. The process includes the following steps:

Submission of online application.

Volunteer review of your application, including a background check on all adults living in the home, checking personal references, contacting your landlord if you rent, and contacting your veterinarian if you have current pets.

Phone interview with a volunteer to discuss the answers on your online application, share more information about Nirvana Animal Rescue, and answer any questions you have.

Virtual home visit with a volunteer to review your home and yard and ensure it is a safe environment for a dog.

If your application passes the above steps, the final step is arranging a time for your entire family, including resident dogs, to meet the dog you’d like to adopt! We require that everyone in the family meet the new dog before fully approving the adoption.
