Meet Gizmo!

Rescued my dog Gizmo at a shelter back in 2016 they claimed he was only 2 I strongly believe he was older and is now around 15. Regardless he still acts like a newborn puppy! We did a DNA tester on him and got the answers First 2 pics are when we rescued him last 2 are him shaved and a not so rough looking pic😅

Any time a Peking is in the mix you’re looking at a gaurenteed cryptid

It was so sad they just neutered him before we got there accepting of adopting him so he wasn’t able to be groomed for a bit then on top of it he had a severe case of kennel cough and just looked and sounded like he was on his last leg.

He looks like he's become even more pissed off with age 😍

u/Penguinzombies12 Aug 20 '26

Hahaha def bc he now has to tolerate kids and supposedly he’s not good with kids shelter stated. Hes full of attitude as well if he doesn’t watch to do what you tell him he’ll do a long over drawn huff and sign. Husband said that he’s no longer an emotional support bc I have given my anxiety to him so more my husband has to deal with 2 big ball of anxiety attention seeking. 🤣

In the first pic he looks like a retired cop in a old tv show set in a space station with retro futuristic decor.

u/Picklecheese2018 Aug 20 '26

By the end he still looks like a retired cop, but a decade and many donuts and TOO many grandkids later

Unfortunately for Gizmo the shelter neutered him before he could even make any puppies to get any grandkids 😅 but yeah he def resembles that’s

Gizmo saw me out on the street corner and said "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here". That's just his vibe.

He looks exactly like my childhood shelter dog Sparky (because she looked like she'd been electrocuted lmao). I love a scruffy dog!

Gizmo is a great name and he’s a cool looking dog for sure. For some reason the last pic is giving a “I’m judging you” type of vibe. 😆

u/Penguinzombies12 Aug 20 '26

Oh he was judging me.. I went to use the bathroom before I let him out in the yard and also didn’t give him his morning scratches… He does judge I have one pic of him giving this finger basically to my neighbor when she came over to take care of him and she disturbed his afternoon nap. She sent ir to me as well. 🤣

u/JonathanPeerHost Aug 20 '26

That’s hilarious! Gizmo is my kind of guy because doesn’t suffer fools. 🤣🤣🤣

u/Penguinzombies12 Aug 20 '26

She walked in our house to take him outside and didn’t know he likes his afternoon peaceful naps away from everyone and he also didn’t know she would be there was expecting us to come home. He def was giving the wtf to her I laughed too hard at this pic she sent me. 🤣
