Gordita

My story

Miss Gordita is the sweetest little pit bull/boxer mix that you will meet! She is very loving and playful and always wants to be the center of attention! She loves to spend time outside, sniffing in the yard and finding herself good little tokens to take home. She once caught herself a little mushroom, but after a mild moment of despair and panic the staff discovered this to be a safe edible mushroom. Gordita was none the wiser to why everyone was so hurriedly watching a mushroom identification video. To her the world is a wonderful place filled with many new snacks to snacks upon. She knows her basic commands, and is very food motivated so she is very trainable. She definitely has us trained as well though, as she puts on the best puppy dog face! Gordita arrived with some leash issues, specifically related to walking past other dogs. This has been well corrected in her time here at the shelter with positive reinforcement! She is a very devoted girl and has been patiently waiting here at the shelter for the right person to come along! During her stay at the shelter, staff noticed that Gordita had some on and off GI upset and Gordita did end up going to the vet for surgery. Veterinarians said that Gordita has some tummy problems that are likely genetic, so now Gordita is on an easy to digest diet that keeps her comfortable. She is a tummy ache survivor!! We are not sure why Gordita is still in shelter a year after her intake. We believe her to be a wonderful dog deserving of a real home with a real family, and we hope you may be that person!
