About

Hi! I'm Gio, a French Bulldog mix that came in as a stray so my background is unknown. Despite this, I love my people! I would snuggle and give them kisses all day if given the chance. Sometimes I may love them a little too much I guess because I've started protecting them and sometimes defend them even when the threat isn't real. I need some help learning that there really usually isn't any danger and most people are friends! Because of this, it's probably also best if I'm the only animal in the house. I tend to misunderstand their intentions too. I've come a long way with house training, and for the most part I do my business outside, but if you aren't paying attention and letting me out enough, I might have an accident still without warning. I sleep well in my crate or chill in there if I need a break, as long as I know you are nearby. If you leave me alone, I get some anxiety in my crate and usually end up barking excessively or having an accident in there. I would love it best if someone was home with me most of the time. I'll do best with someone who can really help me overcome my overly protective behaviors, and help me be the best I can be with lots of training, patience and love. I can't wait to meet you! *Located in Whitby Gio's Ideal Home: Adult-only home with no other pets Experienced owner willing to continue training and work on his protective behaviors Someone home most of the time to help with separation anxiety Calm, predictable environment with a consistent routine Enjoys 1–2 short walks daily and lots of cuddle time Still working on house training and crate confidence when left alone
