Gino - is a 9 year old male mixed breed. He appears to be a mix of chihuahua and maybe pug and  at 16lbs, he is a wee bit chunky. But hey, we've all been there one time or another, right?

Gino is a laid back guy who will be your constant companion.  He is a grown boy, but also gets the puppy crazies when he sees his favorite toy or when he sees you grab a leash for walks.  Speaking of walks, Gino is in his glory when out walking.  He is great on leash and does well whether cruising the city streets or rambling along the trails in the woods. After walkies, he will find a comfy spot on your lap and curl up as long as you let him.

Gino can be a bit shy when meeting people. He likes his meetings with new folks to be slow and easy. He is a small guy and it can be scary when strange people approach his space too quickly. Can you blame him?  His foster family is getting him more comfortable socializing and he is picking up cues from his four foster siblings.  Yes, you heard that right.  Gino has four other doggie foster siblings that he absolutely adores.  

Is Gino the right dog for me and my lifestyle?

Activity requirements: Gino is happy with an hour or so of leash walks throughout the day.  He loves to lounge out in the backyard.
With other dogs: He has been great with dogs he has met.
With cats:Hmmm, we don't know but can test him upon request.

In the car: Who's a Good boy!
