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 a gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming American Bully mix, about 69 lbs of pure goodness. Gordo is a relaxed, low-energy guy who's built for a go-with-the-flow lifestyle, with just the right touch of goofiness. He loves toys and playing tug-of-war, but he can also easily entertain himself. He meets new dogs with friendly confidence, observing rather than being the life of the party. If another dog gets pushy, he handles it by walking away or offering a gentle correction. 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 in a home with older children as he continues to learn his best manners. He absolutely cannot live with cats. 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 in his description.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills but can be strong due to his size, so he'll need someone who can confidently guide him. He 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.
