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 melts into affection with baby talk and soft, loving hands. 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 he can also easily entertain himself. Gordo meets new dogs with friendly confidence and handles pushy dogs by walking away or giving a small, appropriate correction. He wants to learn and do the right thing in every way; he just needs someone to show him how. He is very food motivated, which is a great training tool.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female who isn't looking for constant play. He would do best with older kids while he continues learning his best manners. No cats for Gordo. He needs a steady, confident person who sees the dog he is becoming and wants to be part of that journey.
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 responds well when walks are made fun and engaging. Someone familiar with bully breeds who understands how to channel enthusiasm into good habits and qualities would be ideal.
