About: Sweet senior alert, sweet senior alert! If you’ve got a soft spot in your heart and your home for a deserving senior pup, look no further than frosty-faced Gizmo! He’s a pup with SO MANY great qualities! He’s a darling old man who loves people, walks, toys and affection!

Gizmo came to the shelter when his owners could no longer care for him. He received treatment from our medical team to take care of some old man lumps and bumps and is on the mend and feeling much better now. He’s looking forward to finding himself a comfy retirement home where he can be the apple of his new family’s eye!

Gizmo’s former family said that he loves toys, knows tricks, and is playful but can also be a couch potato. He loves to be by his person’s side, but he can also be independent when need be. He got along well with young children and small dogs in the home.

Here’s what one friend at the shelter said:

“Gizmo is a super sweet boy. He was easy to leash to exit the kennel with and he LOVED his walk around the lake. He enjoyed watching and listening to the other dogs in the park. He is a social sweetie who would much rather be out with his volunteer friends than cooped up in a kennel!”

Gizmo has been independent when meeting other dogs in playgroup and would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. If you’re a sucker for an adorable white muzzle with eyebrows to match, Gizmo would love to meet you!


Available for foster care (2+ weeks) or adoption through PACC.
Interested parties:
Must visit PACC before the COB Friday May 15, 2026 deadline to meet with a counselor who will review notes and introduce you to the dog to ensure that it’s a good fit. Some dogs may also require an introduction to any dogs they may potentially live with.


Home Management Plan

1) DOG INTRO REQUIRED With Small Dogs:
• Reason: selective wih dogs in pg
• Slow, Structured Introductions: Introductions must be gradual and carefully managed in neutral territory. Monitor all body language closely, and end sessions on a positive note.
• Muzzle Training: It is recommended to condition gizom to a comfortable basket muzzle before introductions. This provides safety and allows for positive experiences during early meetings.
• No Dog Parks:gizmo should not attend dog parks or other uncontrolled environments. These settings can overwhelm or trigger negative interactions, making progress more difficult.
• Behaviors could improve with proper management and/or professional training.
2) HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOG INTRO:
• If you have other dogs in the home, we highly recommend arranging a controlled introduction prior to adoption to ensure compatibility and reduce stress for all pets.
• Reason: sel w/ dogs in pg
3) Dog Selective:
• Required Dog Meetings: gizmo must meet all resident dogs prior to adoption to ensure compatibility.
• Selective Play Style: They prefer to choose their own friends - they may get along well with some dogs but not with all dogs. Introductions should be monitored closely for positive body language and relaxed interactions.
• Muzzle Training: Conditioning them to a muzzle before introductions is recommended. This provides an added layer of safety while keeping initial meetings low-stress.
• No Dog Parks: gizmo should not attend dog parks or other uncontrolled social settings. These environments can lead to negative experiences and may set back progress.
• Behaviors could improve with proper management and/or professional training.
