Here's a quick intro to Gizmo, pulled from the Hinsdale Humane Society's website: 

"While Gizmo is a very energetic boy with a puppy-like demeanor, he is very smart, eager to please, and responds readily to positive reinforcement training.  He already knows the commands sit and down. Gizmo loves to play and will chase a tennis ball, toss a stuffie, or play tug.  He has a sweet disposition, too, and will give you kisses in return for pets. ... Gizmo is in need of a home with an owner able to provide sufficient exercise on a daily basis to outlet his exuberance, and he should not be left alone for long periods of time."

For more information about Gizmo, visit the Hinsdale Humane Society at 22 N. Elm St. or call the society at 630-323-5630.
