Gordie

Gordie is looking for a very special home because he suffers with separation anxiety. Gordie has been in foster care with a dog trainer for a long period of time. His trainer has been walking Gordie for two hours a day everyday rain, hail or shine, plus he has time on the doggy treadmill and still has more energy left in his tank. Gordie has also been taken to training classes in the local area and is excelling because he is a very smart dog who learns everything asked of him quickly. Gordie's foster carer/trainer now feels that he is as ready as he will ever be to go on to a new home. We want his new home to be forever and not just another step in the wrong direction as has been the case in Gordie's past life. Gordie's trainer believes that a home on a dog safe property on acreage with other dogs to play and exercise with will suit him as he does do well in a pack situation. A suburban block of land with a fence all around is not going to suit Gordie at all as he will become bored and bark and be a very unhappy dog. Gordie's new owners must also be 'home bodies' not working people because his anxiety levels are raised when he is without his humans. An active retiree, single person or couple is going to work best for Gordie and of course it goes without saying that he must always have access to his humans via a doggy door or similar 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Gordie has a beautiful temperament and loves playing with his toys and doggy friends. It is going to take someone who is very committed to Gordie's routine and exercise program so a home with someone experienced will be the best for him moving forward. Gordie has a high maintenance coat that will require regular clipping and grooming.
