Overlooked senior dog in Texas shelter is ‘panicking' over a secret. Meet Gordon
A shy dog at a Texas shelter is done waiting for a home after spending over 140 days there, just hoping to be noticed.
Meet Gordon, a beautiful senior German shepherd with a little secret that he needs to get off his chest, according to the Humane Society of El Paso.
'HSEP's 32nd annual Telethon is coming up fast, and Gordon has something to admit…' the shelter said in a July 28 Facebook post.
'Yes, he may be the most handsome guy in the shelter, but after all this time, he just has to come out and say it... Gordon has stage fright. This big, brave six-year-old German shepherd Dog is ready to confess that he does have one fear, and it's the camera. He's trying his best to get adopted before August 2 so he can avoid going on TV, because he's panicking just thinking about it.'
Sure, even a lot of humans suffer from the dreaded stage fright or have a fear of public speaking — but luckily for Gordon, speaking has nothing to do with it. Unless, of course, he has that trick up his fur.
'As an older, vision-impaired pup, Gordon is someone often overlooked at the shelter. After 141 days in the shelter, Gordon's one of HSEP's longest residents, and everyone has been stuck wondering how,' the shelter said. 'While he's always been sweet as can be in the shelter, this smart guy also does great in the home, according to his previous foster.'
Gordon is housebroken, a kid sort of dog, and so much more. But most of all — he loves with his whole heart.
