Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Gizmo!

This small mixed-breed cutie was transferred to us from Providence Animal Control after he was found wandering and never claimed. While we don't know much about his past, Gizmo is focused on the future - and it's clear he's as sweet as pie. With his adorable little "scraggle muffin" look and gentle, loving personality, he's impossible not to fall for.

Because Gizmo didn't have a known home routine before arriving, he's still learning the rhythms of family life. He will need consistency and patience as he continues working on potty training, but with a predictable schedule and positive reinforcement, he's sure to catch on quickly.

Gizmo's easygoing nature leads us to believe he will do well with kids, cats, and other dogs. We also think he could adjust nicely to a variety of living situations, whether it's a quiet home or a more active household, as long as he receives love, structure, and guidance.

If you're looking for a devoted little companion with a charming scruffy face and an even sweeter heart, Gizmo might be your perfect match.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
