Gordon aka “Gordo” is most likely a German Pinscher mix. He has natural ears, a docked tail, and his dew claws have not been removed. He gets along with dogs of all sizes. We don’t know his behavior around cats. He would do best in a home without children. He was a neglected stray who weighed only 26 lbs when turned into the Arizona Humane Society. Gordo is still adjusting to being crated as it seems he spent tortured extended time in one, perhaps for breeding puppy/mill purposes. He needs an owner who will be consistent and patient in teaching him proper house manners so he can be trusted in the home, unsupervised. PS – “Gordo” means “fat” in Spanish! He’s not quite there, but it’s better than before when he was “demasiado flaco” or too skinny.
Gordo says:
“Hello! My name is Gordon, Gordo for short! Boy oh boy, am I glad that DHDR took me in! I had been in bad shape and was so skinny it hurt! But thanks to these folks I’m back at the top of my game and I’m ready for a real home now. The vet last weighed me in at 38.4 lbs, and they think I may be a German Pinscher because I’m so much smaller than a regular Doberman. I’m about 2 years old and love to play, especially with socks! I’m still learning some house manners, but I’m learning quickly. I really like the door in the back that lets me go in and out as I please. Aren’t people great?! They do so much for me, I am so grateful! Hopefully my new, forever home will have another dog for me to play with.”
