Gizmo

Hi, my name is Gizmo and my foster mum says ‘I’m just a baby!’

I am a 8-week-old Jack Russell Terrier x Mini Foxie (my mum - she's a Fox Terrier x and she came into care with a couple of others from a private surrender (so my dad could be a Jack Russell or a Mini Foxie – but we are all small!

My foster mum noticed that after a few days my mummy’s tummy started getting a bit bigger – she original was pretty pleased and thought good cooking has done that and then she started to show a few signs of nesting…….. Off to the vets she went for an ultrasound and yep 4 little precious babies were in her belly!

The rescue is ensuring that this is her last litter of pups – they said something about they do a last litter program, and she will never have to be pregnant again!

So anyways my mum cooked us in her belly and when she said we were pure perfection we were born! Us three boys of Casper, Gizmo, Nemo and then our sister Layla.

So a few practical things to get out of the way before we discuss more
1. Yes all our bios are the same really – because we are all 8 week old pups still forming our personalities and cheekiness
2. Yes you can apply to meet more than just me, just put the names on the application – just know that only one of us can be adopted per family so there is no littermate issues
3. We leave care at 12 weeks of age
4. Mum is safe with the rescue and they will do the last litter desexing program on her so no more babies for our mum – she Is going up for adoption very soon as well.

The rescue has taken such good care of me, Casper, Nemo and Layla

I currently weigh 1.7kgs

I have one sister and two brothers and our foster mum says each of us have our quirks and personalities – my foster mum has said that I am the cheekiest and ready for anything especially fun of the four of us and constantly brings a smile to her face with my antics!

I can be a little shy when meeting new people or in new situations but if you give me a few minutes to get my bearings and get comfortable – look out world – when I’m ready for an adventure and some fun

I love to have a cuddle with my human and would very happily spend hours being cuddled.

My siblings and I play some times gently, sometimes rough and either my mum or my foster mum has to step in and remind us we are babies and to stop trying to audition for WWE.

The rescue has a rule of no siblings going together (littermate syndrome).

My foster mum says while I love to run around and play with my siblings at the moment I am also happy to be by myself so I can go to a home with another dog or be an only dog but surrounded by people who will give me lots of mental and physical stimulation.

I have been learning to sit when I have my dinner and my foster mum says I’m getting there slowly... but you know I have siblings and something could be yummier in their bowl.

I currently live with all size dogs and ages (and temperaments) my foster mum says that I am definitely dog socialized, oh yeah and kid socialized too.

I am 90% toilet trained but I am still only 8 weeks old so you know, accidents may happen.

Currently my foster mum works from home a few days a week and the rest we spend our day having access inside and out playing to our hearts are content while she works – we do love being able to curl up in her office and have a snooze.

And when she's gone we play and play and play and then crash to sleep! We are not fans of being crated and will definitely express to you that we are unhappy, something about can't contain the uncontainable............. we are good honest - we just like to be with the big fur kids are and play!

Our foster mum was very proud that we learnt how to use the back door so quickly – hell yeah it meant at our bedtime we could run outside and keep playing with the other dogs – she just shakes her head now and says okay when you’re tired you will crash and I’ll come sort you out (sometimes we sleep with the bigger dogs for a bit)

I am not cat tested but I’m also really young so this is something that should be easily taught to me (don’t chase)

I love to have a play outside in the grass (wet as well) and then come in and have a good cuddle

My foster mum does these baths on me she reckons that we all get so dirty so quickly – but we just give her smooches and tell her cause we are having fun!
