Gordo

My story

Gordo: Your One-and-Only Star (and Cuddle Connoisseur!)! 🌟❤️Ready for a dog who knows he's the star of the show? Meet **Gordo**, the utterly charming 2-year-old Poodle mix, weighing in at a delightful 15 pounds of curly love! This sweet boy, currently gracing Lake County, IL, with his presence, is looking for a family ready to give him *all* the attention and adoration.Gordo is a true gentleman who prefers to do his "business" while on a proper walk – he's too dignified for just a quick backyard dash without his leash! He's mostly housebroken, especially if you understand his classy preference for walk-time potty breaks. While he hasn't been tested with kids (N/A means he hasn't been around them in foster), Gordo's true calling is to be the **one and only furry family member.** He loves the spotlight and thrives when all the love is directed his way!This handsome fella is a pro on the leash, making walks a breeze. He's not formally crate-trained, but honestly, he's so well-behaved, you won't even miss it! When it's time to snooze, Gordo's favorite spot is snuggled right in bed with his beloved human. Get ready for some seriously cozy nights!Gordo is incredibly affectionate and your devoted shadow – he loves to follow his master around, making sure you're never truly alone. He's got excellent manners and obedience, playing ball with gusto and always responding when his name is called. His personality is a delightful blend of sweet, quiet, and possessive in the most loving way – he simply wants all the love a family can offer, and he'll give it right back tenfold! He stays close by and is genuinely a great dog.**Now, about his fabulous curls!** Gordo's magnificent coat is a joy and requires a **regular grooming schedule** to keep those beautiful spirals from getting knotted. Think of it as a bonding experience – he'll probably lean into those gentle brushes! He's also a surprisingly good watchdog, though his sweetness means he might get a little nervous when he sees someone leaving – he just loves his people so much!We think Gordo would thrive in a home where he can be the center of attention, showered with love and companionship as the cherished solo pet.---### Gordo's Golden Details:* **Name:** Gordo (Your affectionate, one-and-only!)* **Age:** Approx. 2 years* **Weight:** 15 lbs* **Breed:** Poodle Mix (expect beautiful curls!)* **Temperament:** Sweet, quiet, affectionate, devoted, loves the spotlight!* **Kid Friendly:** N/A (not tested)* **Dog/Cat Friendly:** One-pet family preferred!* **Housebroken:** Mostly (prefers walks for potty breaks!)* **Leash Trained:** Yes!* **Crate Trained:** No (but well-behaved!)* **Snoring:** Not specified, but likely a quiet sleeper!* **Vaccinations:** UTD* **Microchipped:** Yes* **Neutered:** Yes* **Sleeps:** In bed with his human!* **Location:** Lake County, IL* **Adoption Fee:** $450.00--- A Note to Potential Adopters:All adopters must be prepared to provide a loving and supportive home for Gordo, including ongoing training, appropriate exercise, a **regular grooming schedule** for his curly coat, and veterinary care.
