Gizmo is a Yorkshire terrier who was found as a stray and brought to ACC.

Gizmo is friendly when someone touches his food or bowl while he is eating, takes a treat or toy away, pushes/pulls him off of the furniture, holds/restrains him or disturbs him while he is resting or sleeping. Gizmo’s caretaker did not attempt to brush him, give him a bath, or trim his nails so it is unknown how he will react to those events. If an unfamiliar person approaches his family or home Gizmo is friendly toward them.

For a New Family top Know:
