Gizmo wants and needs to be with his person all the time. We recently found out that he was previously an emotional support dog. Gizmo will climb on your chest and tuck his head in under your chin and just sit there for as long you hold him. Gizmo is very anxious and timid in new places and it will take him extra time to adjust to new surroundings. The first couple of days his foster mom had him, he just trembled in his crate and panted nervously. Once he gets over his initial fear of the unknown he is a wonderful dog. He is also good with cats - they scare him.

Gizmo is completely house trained and crate trained, but he would rather be loose to be with his person to comfort them. He is very timid on a leash when in new places, but does well on a leash when he is familiar with the area. We are looking for an adopter who is retired or works from home. If there are kids in the home, they should be older (10+), dog savvy and sensitive to his anxiety and needs. If you have the patience, time and love to give Gizmo the home he deserves, please read the paragraph below to be considered for a potential meet & greet and adoption.

As a purely foster based rescue, we have no central location where you can visit our dogs. Therefore, we only honor meet requests from pre-approved adopters, with an application on file.  Please fill in our online adoption application at www.myaarf.org as fully as you can and allow at least 24-48 hours for a response from our busy volunteers. Gizmo's Adoption Fee is $400 which includes all transport, vetting (including spay/neuter) and micro-chipping. *Completion of obedience training is a requirement for adoption through AARF.*
