Gizmo is a male Brussels Griffon/Schnauzer mix who is approximately 1 year old and just happens to be the CUTEST DOG EVER according to his fosters. He has a great personality and is a very smart boy. He loves other dogs and lots of toys. His house-training is going very well. Gizmo was a breeding dog at a puppy mill and due to that awful past, is scared of loud or unfamiliar noises. If you move too fast, he'll run away scared and hide in his crate (which is his sanctuary and he must have one). He is needy and forms strong bonds with loving humans. Gizmo's adopters must be willing to work at HIS pace for confidence building and gaining trust. A calm, quiet home environment will be needed for him and people that are patient, very loving, and frequently at-home or stay-at-home.
