Meet Gordo! He's a gentle giant with a squishy face and a big heart, weighing around 69 lbs. Gordo is a sweet, thoughtful, and quietly charming American Bully mix who absolutely melts for affection and belly rubs. He's a low-energy fellow who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle, but don't let that fool you – he also loves a good game of tug-of-war! Gordo is friendly and confident around other dogs, preferring to observe rather than be the center of attention. He handles any pushy interactions with grace, choosing to walk away or offer a gentle correction.
Ideal Home
Gordo would thrive in a home with a steady, confident person who can guide him with a firm but loving hand. He would do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female. He needs a home without cats and would do best with older children as he continues to learn his manners.
Ongoing Health
No specific ongoing health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills but can be strong due to his size, requiring someone to confidently guide him. He is food motivated and eager to learn, responding well to fun and engaging training. A person familiar with bully breeds who can channel his enthusiasm into good habits would be ideal.
