Meet Gizmo, a 1–2-year-old Maltipoo mix with a heart as soft as his fluffy coat. This little guy came to us timid and unsure after his time in the shelter, but a few days in a loving foster home have worked magic. Now he’s blossoming into a sweet, playful companion who’s discovering just how good life can be.

Gizmo does well with other dogs and has started to settle into a nice routine. He’s learning the ropes of being a house pup—working on not marking indoors and getting cozy in his crate. Most of all, he’s beginning to show his cuddly side and loves soaking up affection.

If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a playful streak and a whole lot of potential, Gizmo might just be your perfect match.
