Gizmo – 1 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Homing requirements: Gizmo is partially sighted and needs a family geared to this. It is actually easy to forget he is challenged when in his company. His family will need to have awareness and be alert making sure he isn’t put at risk of injury or danger i.e. roads. He needs a family who can ensure his eyes receive ‘care’ as required, if they prove vulnerable. Gizmo could live with another fluent dog or dog friendly cat. Gizmo would prefer a companion home, but would tolerate part-time working.
His Story: Gizmo was found stray & chipped, but the owner was no longer contactable. He presented with ‘cherry eyes’, but once operated on was found to have very limited vision which he makes full use of with alert hearing and he is not as ‘disabled’ as you would assume.
Advert: Gizmo is a larger than life character in a small body with tiny eyes that seem to gaze up at you with a huge smile! He is very attuned to people and loves to meet everyone and everything. Gizmo has a passion for life; a heart the size of a ship and just adores company! Gizmo is sensitive to light colored items and moving objects, optimizing and ‘reading’ every bit of sensory information he has to achieve quite a clear understanding of his environment.
Gizmo is happy to run around and play ball, but just as happy to sit by your feet and be stroked whilst you watch TV. He will potter from room to room and be beside you. Gizmo is special, but no need to feel sorry for him … he is never sad. In kennels he stands alert waiting for a voice directed his way or a movement which means he might get a fuss! He isn’t delicate and loves a rough and tumble, but obviously his home needs to be managed to ensure he doesn’t inadvertently damage himself e.g. sharp coffee table corners. Gizmo is a concentrated dollop of goodness.
