Gordo

Hi! I’m Gordo and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR GORDO
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/w2uyqcbt6iMZmgnTA

NOTE: You are unable to meet Gordo until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Gordo in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.


What I need in my new home:
• BREED KNOWLEDGE IS PREFERRED
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• I like both friendly male and female dogs however I can be full on in play, so another dog with the same energy as me is a must.
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction. If going to a home with a cat they must be dog savvy and we must be introduced slowly.
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.
• SOCIALISATION is as important for me as it appears I've led a very sheltered life and can be a bit nervous/shy in new situations. Since being at the shelter I'm becoming much braver though. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will help boost my confidence


Things that I don’t want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car

My best features:
• Wiggle butt
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• Social butterfly
• I appear housetrained

Where I need to improve / Training required:
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
• I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
• I do walk quite well on the lead once settled, however I can pull if something interests me and can be quite skittish if startled so walking in a harness is recommended
