My personality

My story

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

Gus is a very Handsome and Sweet boy! Extremely affectionate lap dog. Gus is a little shy at first, but once he knows you for a couple of days he is so cuddly and sweet.

He almost wants to crawl into your body type of snuggles if that makes sense. He is very loyal and smart. Almost too loyal since he is jumping on his foster mom's lap at every single opportunity. He is being fostered with 2 large dogs and his brother Dale. The two little dogs play hard together and are starting to warm up to their huge foster brother GSD. He just wants to play with them so badly, so they are starting to consider it. Gus bonded to me (foster mom) immediately so if adopted into a house with a male, I would suggest the guy walk and feed him to start with, that way the bonding process goes faster. He does cuddle on my husband, but since I'm home all day and husband isn't, he is slowly starting to warm up to him more.

He likes other dogs and enjoys playing with them. Walks well and love his walks and toys in the house.

Gus is a 2.5 year old rat terrier mix. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccinations. He weighs approximately 15 lbs.

He seems to prefer other smaller dogs and enjoys playing with them. Even in our home he is more comfortable with our chow mix compared the the GSD since there is a 20 pound difference and major height difference.

Gus gets along very well with his other relatives named Dale and Curly, also with Valley Dogs Rescue. If you are open to two dogs, these guys are so entertaining!

Gus does well with other dogs and older kids. Cats unsure, but I think he would be ok!
