Squishy face and a soft spot for belly rubs... this is Gordo, and yes, his name fits him in the sweetest, most endearing way. He's about 69 lbs. of American Bully goodness, and while breed is our best guess, his vibe is unmistakable... gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming. Gordo is a big 'ol baby who absolutely adores baby talk; it's his love language. Meet him with soft, loving hands and a little baby talk, and he'll melt into your arms asking for more. He's a relaxed, low-energy guy who is built for the go-with-the-flow lifestyle, with the perfect touch of goofiness. He loves toys and playing tug-o-war but can also easily entertain himself. Gordo meets other dogs with friendly confidence and tends to observe rather than be the life of the party. If another dog gets a little pushy, he handles it beautifully by just walking away or giving a small, appropriate correction. He's shown us he'd do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female who isn't looking for constant play.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best with a steady, confident person who sees the dog he is becoming and wants to be part of that journey. He would do best with older kids and no cats.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills and is continuing to practice controlling his goofy side. On leash, he can be strong simply because of his size, so he'll need someone who can confidently guide him. He checks in with his person and responds well when walks are made fun and engaging. He is very food motivated, which is a great training tool. Someone familiar with bully breeds who understands how to channel enthusiasm into good habits would be ideal.
