Neutered Male DOB 3/15/25 ​Gizmo is looking for a single dog household with a fenced in yard or farm. He loves his doggie friends but is very reactive with new dogs on walks, especially while on leash. He got kicked out of doggie daycare due to his reactiveness to the new dogs. He can be too much for lower energy dogs but loves to play with other dogs with his energy level and loves to roughhouse. He can get jealous when dogs come up and steal his attention, which is why he may do better in a single dog household. He is great with people and kids. He has not been around cats. He LOVES to play ball and disc. He has an excellent recall. He knows quiet, come, touch, off, down, sit, stay, and retrieves. He is potty trained and rings a bell to go outside. He can also use a dog door. He does still occasionally poop inside, but that is still steadily improving. He has been a house pet and does great inside house. He sleeps in his kennel overnight. He is up to date on his vaccines, as well as flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. He is already microchipped. He comes with a kennel, bed, dish, toys, food, harness, leash, and vet records.
