Gordo is a 29-pound, 14-inch fluffy mixed breed with a story as remarkable as his personality. Left in a drop box in New Mexico, he made his way across the country with a truck driver and 13 other dogs — and along the way discovered that he loves car rides and watching the world pass by through the window. This medium-sized terrier mix, estimated at 5–6 years old, has reached a perfect balance of playful energy and easygoing companionship.
Friendly, attentive, and people-focused, Gordo enjoys joining his humans in daily life, whether it’s outdoor adventures or simply relaxing nearby while you go about your routine.
