Gordo is a roughly 69 lb. American Bully with a squishy face and a big heart! He's a gentle, thoughtful, and quietly charming boy who absolutely melts for baby talk and belly rubs. He has a relaxed, low-energy demeanor, perfect for a go-with-the-flow lifestyle, but he also enjoys a good game of tug-o-war. Gordo is friendly and confident with other dogs, showing a preference for observing rather than being the center of attention. He handles interactions with other dogs gracefully, choosing to walk away or offer a gentle correction if needed. He seems to do best with dogs his size or larger, ideally a calm, aloof female.
Ideal Home
Gordo would thrive in a home with a steady, confident person who understands how to channel his enthusiasm. He would do best with older children and no cats.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Gordo has basic leash skills but can be strong due to his size, requiring a confident handler. He is food motivated and eager to learn, responding well to positive and engaging guidance. He would benefit from a home familiar with bully breeds who can help him continue developing good habits.
