Adopt Inspector Gadget a Black - with White American Pit Bull Terrier / Boston

Location:

La Grange Highlands, IL

Description:

Do do do do do, Inspector Gadget… Everyone’s favorite half man/half cyborg/half dog (that’s how math works, right?) is available for adoption! IG loves people. He has no stranger danger whatsoever. He can get overstimulated and jump at faces, but in the nicest way possible. He just wants to give you a kiss, that might also break your nose. I imagine this is also what it’s like to kiss an MMA fighter. We recently took Gadget to an event at a brewery, and he was a friend to everyone. If someone dare stopped paying attention to him, he would yell at them. A little high pitched squeaky scream that is somehow cute, because, his face. He knows basic cues (sit, working on down, come and off), and a couple extras (touch and paw). He’s not great at ‘drop it’ with a tennis ball, unless you have another one. Will drop other toys when asked, most of the time. We don’t blame him. 145 days in a shelter with with almost no access to toys would make me not want to give up my precious, either. But he’s never guarded, and has shown improvement in dropping it - and we expect that to continue. He's still working on leash manners. He pulls like crazy the first few minutes, then is pretty good loose leash. Gadget is crate trained, but will scream bloody murder for the first 5-10 minutes. To his foster dad, it sounds like choking a chicken. Not choking THE chicken - that sounds distinctly different. Foster mom says it sounds like a goat being stabbed. Go go gadget…scream that sounds like petting zoo homicide? The good news is, after 5-10 minutes, he’s silent and your home will no longer sound like you are actively murdering cute farm animals. Gadget is 1000% potty trained. There we go again with the math. He can hold it for a full work day with no issues. He's good sleeping in a crate at night (minus the initial few minutes of yelling). He’s medium/high energy when he’s been cooped up. He’ll need active people to keep him busy, and tire him out. Two-ball fetch for 15-20 minutes a few times a day is great for him. He’ll pass out or self entertain if he gets a chance to run out his energy.
