Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Gus, the charming black and white collie mix with a heart full of love and a cleft lip that only adds to his undeniable cuteness! This sweet, easygoing boy is the perfect companion-affectionate, playful, and known for his strong and smart personality. Gus loves people and has a joyful, fun-loving nature that makes him an absolute pleasure to be around.
Gus is well-mannered and has already mastered commands like sit, down, stay, shake, and roll over. He's also great on leash, so walks are easy and enjoyable. Gus loves to stay active, whether it's swimming, chewing on his favorite toys (especially the ones with hidden surprises inside!), or having fun howling at sirens. When it's time to relax, he loves nothing more than curling up for a good snuggle, often lying right on top of you for extra love and attention. His affectionate side shines through in every moment, and those irresistible puppy eyes will melt your heart.
In previous homes, Gus was trusted to free roam when left alone and enjoys his independence. He thrives on one-on-one time with his humans and would prefer to be the only child so he can receive the attention he deserves. Gus is a gentle giant who will bring so much warmth, joy, and loyalty into your life.
If you're looking for a smart, playful, and loving companion who will quickly become your best friend, Gus is ready to meet you! He can't wait to share his cuddles, joy, and playful energy with the perfect family.
