Gaston (On Trial 22/9/14)

Gaston is around 2 years old and is a Chihuahua x Miniature Pinscher. Would you like a man around the house who is strong, brave, affectionate, and more; in fact everything you ever wanted, all wrapped up in a little 5kg package? Then look no further.

Gaston has a short, shiny coat and very impressive ears! He likes to follow you around the house and yard, sit next to you on the lounge, play with toys, and play with other small dogs. When you come home from work his uncontainable excitement will brighten even the roughest day!

Gaston already has some basic training and is responsive to requests and learning new things. He is housetrained and sleeps all night in his crate in the lounge room until morning. He is living with 3 other small dogs and has a great time with them. He is an inside dog and needs to be allowed inside, at least when people are home, and to sleep inside. He would love to have another small dog for a playmate if possible.

Gaston is a good little climber/jumper, so you will need to make sure there aren't any pot plants or furniture that he could use to climb over the fence. I lost track of him once around the house and found that he had hopped onto a bookshelf to perch himself on top of the fridge! What a character.
Gaston was rescued along with dozens of other dogs from an animal hoarder. When he came into foster care he was quite timid but has made amazing progress in just a few short weeks and is now very affectionate, happy and fun loving. He is a little unsure about meeting strangers but after around 5 minutes he happily approaches them for a pat.

Gaston is an absolute sweetheart. If you meet him you will fall in love.
