Gordo is a lovely indoor/outdoor piggy who is typically outside in from late spring to early fall, then inside when the weather is cold. He is crate trained and housebroken, going outside to potty. He is GREAT with children of all ages, just the sweetest boy. He loves other animals and used to run in the back yard with the dogs. (Dogs and pigs should always be supervised and never left alone when together.)
Gordo loves attention and is so sweet. He loves his belly scratched and he LOVES to cuddle with people and other animals. He wants to be where others are. He can circle for a treat. If you let him know you have a treat, he will follow you ANYWHERE. No leash needed. He hates cold weather, and if you leave him outside in it, he'll cry to come back in. He likes to be able to come inside and hang out with family.
Gordo is a bit overweight and has been having trouble with the steps in the new home to get in and out from the yard. Due to this, he's not as active as he used to be. He's in need of a home where he has easy outside access without steps and his new family can continue the diet he's currently on.
