My story

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

Get ready to fall for Gus, because this lovable lab mix is all about giving affection. At just approximately 7 months old, Gus is still growing into his paws, currently weighing in at 38 pounds, and expected to become a large dog, over 60 pounds at full growth. With his sleek black and white short coat and sweet, soulful eyes, Gus is the kind of dog who instantly pulls you in with his calm and gentle demeanor.

Gus has a medium energy level, which means he is just as happy chasing after a ball as he is lounging by your side for some quality downtime. Whether you are playing in the backyard or taking a relaxing walk-through nature, he is the perfect balance of playful and relaxed. He loves playing with other dogs or just about anyone and he has been wonderful around children, making him a great choice for families looking for a fun and friendly companion. His relationship with cats is still unknown.

Like most puppies his age, he is still learning the ropes when it comes to housetraining, crate training. But do not worry – Gus is eager to learn and would thrive with a little guidance from a patient and loving family. Since this boy is expected to be over 60 pounds at full growth, he would thrive in a house with a large space for him to run around with his human and dog siblings. He would love a family home as he has much love to spread. He is super proud of learning his leash walking skills and will be a dream to walk in the neighborhood, park or anywhere else.

This pup is more than ready to embark on new adventures with a family that will help him grow into the loyal, loving companion he is destined to be. His sweet nature will undoubtedly bring lots of love and joy into your home, and he is looking for someone/a family who is ready to be his forever friend. If you are ready to add some Gus-tastic energy to your life, this lovable lab mix is waiting to meet you!

The adoption fee for Gus is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters are asked to complete an application to begin the adoption process. This valuable document helps us insure that we are finding the perfect match for both the dog and the family members. If your application looks like a good fit, you will be contacted by phone for an interview. This is an opportunity to learn more about the home life you offer and the known temperament and energy level of the dog that is available for adoption. In some cases we may find that a different adoptable dog may be more suitable for your lifestyle and would be brought to your attention. Next, you will speak with the previous foster families to learn more about the day to day needs and behavior of the dog as an extra measure to find the perfect match. In addition, your veterinarian will be contacted to confirm your dedication to the health and well being of your previous or current pets.
Finally DSR reserves the right to do a home inspection prior to the adoption approval.
While this may seem like a lengthy process it actually may only take a week or two. As a result you should only begin the adoption process when you are ready to welcome a dog into your home.
DSR makes every effort to insure our dogs are healthy, happy, and well cared for by our loving volunteers as they wait for their forever homes. All dogs are up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and receive a health certificate before being transported. Our adoption fee is $450 and every penny goes towards the rescue of dogs in need.

DSR's facility is located in Bloomfield, CT and is available by appointment only. We host adoption events every other week in the greater Hartford area. These are wonderful opportunities to meet all of our amazing adoptable dogs. Check out our Facebook page for the most up to date listing of upcoming events. Otherwise, dogs can be seen by appointment after completing the DSR application. Arrangements are made by the screening volunteer and coordinated with the foster family.

More about this rescue

Dog Star Rescue is a grass-roots effort started by a group of dog lovers with experience in the rescue world. The name Dog Star comes from the common name for the star Sirius, reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (Greater Dog). The symbolism of the star as a guide to a safe passage is what we strive to do for our adoptable dogs as we find them a new life with a loving family.
We work closely with shelters in the South as well as the New England states to save the lives of loving and loyal dogs who have lost their way and find themselves on death row. Our volunteers get these dogs the medical and emotional care they need so they can transition into a loving forever home. All of our amazing members are unpaid volunteers with a passion for helping dogs. They spend significant time each week helping guide dogs to a wonderful new life. If you ask our volunteers, they'll tell you they do it for a wide variety of reasons, including personal satisfaction in helping address a nation wide problem, their love of dogs, and a desire to have fun socializing with like-minded people. DSR is always looking for new volunteers to join our group so if this sounds like something you would like to be a part of please contact us.
