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 when you use a little baby talk. 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 entertain himself. Gordo meets other dogs with friendly confidence and would do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female who isn't looking for constant play. He handles pushy dogs by walking away or giving a small correction, showing he's not about conflict.
Ideal Home
Gordo would do best with older kids while he continues learning his best manners. He should not be in a home 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 and is continuing to practice controlling his goofy side. On leash, he can be strong due to 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.
