Meet Gizmo Peggotty – Your New Best Friend! 🐾💙

Size: Small but overflowing with personality

Introducing Gizmo Peggotty – The Ultimate Sidekick!

Looking for a loyal, loving, and slightly snore-y companion? Well, Gizmo Peggotty is here to steal your heart (and your lap)! This little gentleman may be a senior, but don’t let that fool you—he’s still got plenty of pep in his paws and is always up for a cuddle.

Gizmo’s Greatest Hits:
✔ Professional Shadow – Wherever you go, Gizmo follows (yes, even to the bathroom).
✔ Cuddle Connoisseur – He’ll melt into your arms and “purr” when snuggled.
✔ Little Social Butterfly – Gets along beautifully with other dogs and loves a good chinwag.
✔ Charming Snoozer – He snores like a tiny tractor but somehow makes it adorable.
✔ Lap-Loving Gentleman – Loves being picked up and will happily rest in your arms forever.
✔ Low Maintenance, High Love Output – House-trained, polite, and doesn’t beg for food.

Gizmo enjoys two short walks a day—he’s energetic but not a puller. He’s also a pro at car rides, making him a perfect little travel buddy! His eyesight and hearing may not be what they used to be, and he’s rocking a few senior quirks (like some missing teeth and a couple of harmless lumps), but that doesn’t stop him from living his best life.

Gizmo is looking for a warm, loving home with someone who will shower him with affection and doesn’t mind a constant four-legged companion. He’s fine as an only dog but would also thrive with a canine friend. If you’re someone who loves the idea of a devoted little buddy always by your side, Gizmo is your guy!

Ready to give this delightful little man the forever home he deserves? Gizmo can’t wait to meet you and snuggle his way into your heart!

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped, wormed and flea treated. All necessary vet work such as dentals, surgery, eye treatment is also carried out. We are no longer heartworm testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
