About Gordon
Say hello to the wonderful Gordon, a distinguished 9-year-old Bichon Frise mix. Gordon embodies the soul of an independent spirit with a heart that welcomes love and affection.
Gordon, our furry gentleman, enjoys his own space, appreciating the balance between play and peace. He can interact with fellow canines, given they understand his need for personal time and space. He's not one to compete for attention, prefers stability, and respects others' boundaries, making him a great pet.
His ideal home would be one that provides him with a cozy spot on the couch, where he can lounge around lazily and be the center of his family's love. A family who can give him the time he deserves, indulging him with undivided attention, and who will have a loyal friend for life in Gordon. His perfect day involves a mix of short strolls around the block and lounging at home with his beloved humans, occasionally accepting pats and cuddles.
Gordon may be an older dog, but his heart is brimming with love. He seeks an environment where he can thrive peacefully, making him perfect for a family or individual that appreciates the charm of mature dogs and can provide a loving, tranquil home.
Gordon is not dog friendly and would not be suitable to live with another dog
Medical notes
Gordon does have some skin issues which will need to be monitored and managed throughout the rest of his life.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
