Gordo is a squishy-faced, 69 lb. American Bully mix with a heart of gold and a soft spot for belly rubs. He's a gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming boy who melts into affection with a little baby talk. Gordo is a relaxed, low-energy companion who enjoys playtime but can also entertain himself. He meets new dogs with friendly confidence and generally observes rather than participates in boisterous playgroups. If another dog gets too pushy, he handles it with grace by disengaging or offering a gentle correction.
Ideal Home
Gordo would thrive in a home with a steady, confident person who understands bully breeds and can provide him with structure and love. He would do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female. He is not a good fit for homes with cats and would do best with older children as he continues to learn his manners.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills and is learning to control his enthusiastic nature on walks. He can be strong due to his size, so he needs someone who can confidently guide him. He is responsive to positive reinforcement and is very food-motivated, making him eager to learn and please. Someone familiar with bully breeds who can channel his enthusiasm into good habits will set him up for success.
