My story

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

Meet Gizmo: the cutest little Gremlin (aka chihuahua) around. Gizmo is an 8-year-old, 9-pound chihuahua being fostered in Toronto. Just like his namesake from the movie Gremlins, our Gizmo is sweet, gentle, and shy at first. He may not come with a list of mysterious rules (no midnight snacks required!), but he does need a patient and loving home to help him shine. Gizmo was used for breeding but thankfully those days are behind him! No more multiplying Gremlins for him!

Thankfully, Gizmo’s personality is not like the scary Gremlins —so just give him time, and he’ll be your loyal companion. Gizmo takes comfort from other dogs, especially female dogs or larger friendly males (he does get along with small or mid size males but may try to “get frisky” with them, which is not always well received). He’s also fine with dog-savvy cats.

Gizmo loves all people - as long as he isn’t pressured into making friends too quickly (he is a chihuahua after all!). Once he trusts you, he is happy to be your little shadow. Older kids who understand he won’t be cuddly right away are best for him, but he would be fine with visiting small children if they are gentle and let him take the lead.

Gizmo enjoys walking and outside time but isn’t a fan of the extreme cold (but who is)? He has a nice amount of energy for his size for walks and you won’t be able to resist his little tippy tap feet when he walks! He gets a bit nervous in the car but he’s a good boy to come with you to work or wherever you like to go.

Gizmo knows his manners - he’s housetrained- and will sit for a tasty treat!

If you’re looking for a tiny, furry sidekick, Gizmo might just be your perfect match. Could you be the one to give this little Gremlin the happy ending he deserves? Don’t wait until after midnight—help Gizmo find his perfect home today!
