12-3-2014 FACEBOOK POST:  Feeling so sorry for Gizmo, my 8-9 year old frosty-faced foster dog.  He has a HUGE personality and is very healthy.  I cannot begin to describe his humerOus behavior, some consisting of training by a loving owner who died.  He deserves so much more 1:1 attention than he gets living with a large, somewhat jealous pack. But he has had no adoption interest.  I LOVE YOU, GIZMO....there has to be the perfect forever home and owner for you out there somewhere!

2-6-14 UPDATE - Foster mom writes: More about Gizmo, my adorable foster dachshund.  This hilarious little guy dances in circles ahead of me when going to get his meals in the kitchen. Before his bowl is set down, he does a rollover. Could it be that he was taught some canine free...style moves in the past?! Gizmo also loves our bedtime ritual of him getting onto his pillow bed and me putting his blanket on him. He plays and plays until I completely cover him. Then total silence. For three nights now, he has come to get me to put him to bed. He is funnier than any dog I've ever owned or fostered!

Treats. I love treats. Treats. I have had lots of treats in my lifetime. I will roll over for you if you show me a treat. It’s something I’ve been taught to do in the past. 

My personality is awesome. I wag my tail whenever I see a human. I love humans. And I talk. If my cuteness doesn’t win you over, my talking will. My face is so full of expression when I am looking at you and talking. 

Though I plan to leave my mark on the world, I won’t do it in your house like lots of other boys will. And I’m not into barking a lot or talking loudly. My foster mom says I’m submissive, and that is a good way to be. My motto is “Live In Peace”.  If you are looking for perfection, go no further. I’m the guy you’re looking for!
