More about GORDY

This special boy has a lifelong double recessive genetic disorder that causes spinning behaviors and vision impairment. These medical and neurological challenges are permanent and will require lifelong management and ongoing veterinary care. He is currently doing fairly well on his prescribed medications, which will need to be continued through his adopter’s veterinarian after adoption. Because of his condition, he must live as an indoor dog in a home committed to providing long term medical support, structure, and supervision. He is very high energy and thrives with routine and consistent handling. He is potty trained, crate trained, loves car rides, and absolutely adores people and children. He enjoys human companionship and is very affectionate with his family.He will need to be the only animal in the home. Previous owners reported that he does not do well with other dogs and may chase smaller animals, including cats.He is looking for a patient, understanding adopter willing to love him exactly as he is and provide the lifelong care he deserves.
