My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:








Angus aka Gus is an 8 year old, purebred, male Newfoundland. He weighs 110 pounds and he’s a total love bug. Gus isn't much of a player, but is loyal and loves being with his family, whether it's sitting or sleeping next to them, following from room to room, or just lying on the patio with his 2 or 4 legged friends enjoying nature. Gus doesn't want to miss anything. He loves car rides and is a terrific passenger. He gets in, lays down and doesn't get up until the car stops and he knows it's time to get out. Then, he's very much the gentleman and will wait until told it's ok to jump down. Although Gus loves his kibble and treats, he is not particularly food motivated. If he's nervous, Gus will pancake when unsure of things, but can be gently coaxed to get up and continue on the journey. When surrendered, Gus weighed 115. He is down to 110 pounds and needs to be closer to 100 to help keep his hips healthy.

Gus is totally house broken, but doesn't like crates at all. And that's ok because he is a great family member and stays out of things. He doesn't counter surf and if told not to do something, it only takes once. He is a people pleaser and wants to make you happy.

As an eight-year-old, neutered male, Gus has some skin issues. They have improved with a grain-free diet and a daily dose of salmon oil.

Our adoption fee for Gus is $200.00 and we have a formal adoption agreement that will require signatures.
A fenced yard with a minimum height of 4-feet is required for adoption.
We cover Western MO., Kansas, Western IA., Nebraska Northeastern OK. and Northwestern AR. If you plan on submitting an application and you are out of our region, once your application is approved we require that you come to our area to meet the dog and foster family. If that goes well you will be able to take your Newfie home with you.
