Gizmo

Gizmo is an adoptable male Husky looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. He is a young adult and large in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Gizmo may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.
