Gordo
✨ What we’ve already learned about Gordo:
🐾 Great on a leash
🐾 Loves the water
🐾 Knows basic commands
🐾 Wants to be the only dog
Gordo is the kind of dog who just needs a little reassurance and love to fully shine. He loves eating when someone is sitting with him. Couch potato, would love a set of pitty pajamas and someone to give him all the booty scratches he needs. He is fully vetted and heartworm negative.

Reviews
"We adopted Onus March 15, 3025. He is an absolute and forever part of our family. We cannot praise Second Chance Dog Rescue enough for what they do! And what they do is very hard work. Very emotional work. Thank you to Second Chance for finding us the most perfect dog we could ever imagine! Please support them if you are able!"

"Choosing my adoption through Second Chance Dog Rescue was the best decision we’ve ever made. The team was incredibly thoughtful, supportive, and truly cared about finding the right match—not just placing a dog quickly. From the first message to post-adoption check-ins, they made us feel like part of a family. Our pup came to us healthy, happy, and so well-adjusted thanks to their amazing foster and rehab program. You can tell this rescue is doing it for the right reasons—heart, compassion, and real impact."
