About Gordon
Meet Gordon, a 7-year-old American Bulldog who’s the perfect blend of wise old soul and playful pup! At 61 pounds, this senior has a heart full of love and a spirit that still sparks with energy. Despite a unique, slightly wobbly gait, Gordon’s charm shines through, and a veterinary specialist confirms his condition is likely not progressive—so he’s ready to live his best life with a little extra swagger. Whether he’s showering you with affection, chasing toys, or getting the occasional zoomies, Gordon is a loyal companion who’s eager to share his golden years with a loving family.
Characteristics
Affectionate & Loyal: Gordon is a people-lover who thrives on giving and receiving attention.
Playful: He enjoys toys and still gets bursts of puppy-like energy with his signature zoomies.
Social: Gordon gets along well with other dogs, making him a great fit for multi-dog homes.
Resilient: His mild mobility issue doesn’t slow him down, and he’s full of life and love.
Health and Care
Gordon is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and in good health for his age, with a veterinary check completed on January 5, 2025. He takes daily pain medication and a joint supplement to keep him comfortable, which are easy to manage and affordable. His unique gait, likely due to a mild neurological or joint condition, gives him a distinctive swagger but doesn’t hinder his daily activities. Gordon is fully housebroken, reliably signaling when he needs to go outside, and adapts well to a calm, structured routine.
Gordon’s Story
Gordon, a 7-year-old American Bulldog, is a true love bug with a zest for life. Rescued on January 9, 2025, after his previous owner could no longer care for him, Gordon quickly won over his foster family with his warm personality and playful spirit. He spends his days lounging in cozy spots, playing with his favorite squeaky toys, and greeting everyone with a wagging tail and a big bulldog smile. Despite his mild mobility challenges, Gordon doesn’t let anything hold him back—he still chases toys, enjoys short walks, and even gets the zoomies when he’s feeling extra spry.
Gordon gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him a great candidate for a home with canine companions. His foster family adores him, but they know he deserves a forever home where he can be the star of the show. With his easygoing nature and heart-melting affection, Gordon is ready to be your loyal sidekick, whether you’re relaxing on the couch or enjoying a sunny afternoon in the yard.
Ideal Home
Gordon would thrive in a calm, loving home with owners who cherish his senior charm and can provide a cozy, low-stress environment. A securely fenced yard or easy access to outdoor space is ideal for his short walks and playtime, though he’s just as happy lounging indoors. Gordon gets along well with other dogs, so a multi-dog household is fine, but he’d also be content as the only pet soaking up all the love. Owners comfortable managing his simple medication routine and providing gentle exercise will find Gordon to be an incredibly rewarding companion. A home with adults or older children who can appreciate his affectionate, playful nature will make Gordon’s golden years truly special.
