My name is Gizmo!

Gizmo was rescued from the streets of Texas where he was dumped by his previous owner. He languished there for a few months while a kind woman fed him eash day but was not able to take him in. Circle 2 Rescue stepped up to save this handsome boy and quickly got him to a vet. At his vet appointment we learned that Gizmo is heart worm positive. The treatment will be covered by the rescue. In his temporary foster home, Gizmo has been an absolute delight! His foster mom introduced him to the neighbor's puppy and Gizmo was so patient and well behaved, even though Gizmo was playing with his ball and the puppy was jumping all over him. Gizmo showed remarkable patience. He has been kind and respectiful of her young kids with closely supervised encounters and is well behaved in the house. His foster mom said he is a dream on leash and he loves to play fetch, even bringing the ball back to you! (this was before we knew he was hw positive). He is so happy and excited to see his foster mom when she returns from work each day from her teaching job. She said he makes her heart feel happy. These things indicate the Gizmo was likely a beloved family pet at one point in his life and he must have been so confused at being abandoned. But he hasn't let his hardship affect his happy attitude. This boy is a love!!  His heartworm treatment is not complicated but involves about 3 vet visits over the course of 3 months.  Gizmo weighs 52 pounds but needs to gain a few pounds.

Whilte the vet was not certain of Gizmo's age, he said he is "more than 5 years old" so he could be 5 or he could be 8 or 9 years old. We will try to get a more definitive age for him.
