My story

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

Meet Gus, a silly and lovable 5-year-old, 22 lb pug in search of a loving home!

Background: Gus was found as a stray after being abandoned by his owner.

Personality: Gus is a sweet, funny, excitable, and happy-go-lucky pug. He is excited to meet new people and loves to play with other dogs. When he isn't running around with his foster siblings, you will find Gus following his foster parents around, lounging with them on the couch, and showering them with kisses.

Health: Gus is up to date on all vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. He had a dental cleaning recently so his teeth are pearly white.

Training: Gus is crate-trained, primarily house-trained, utilizes a dog door, and walks well on a leash. He has a lively personality with playful, puppy-like traits and would thrive with ongoing training.

Ideal Home: Gus is easy to please but would do best in a home without cats. He would enjoy having a dog companion and is likely to do well in a home with children.

Adoption Requirements: Gus’s adoption fee is $350. If you are interested in meeting Gus and live in the Phoenix metro area, please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a lifetime commitment. After an application and a verbal interview is completed and it is determined that the adoption is a compatible match, a contract is signed with specific guidelines. An adoption fee (usually between $250-$500) to help off-set medical, feeding and Rescue costs is collected. The contract states that at any time the adoption does not work out, the dog is to be returned to our Rescue group for alternate placement. The dog is not to be 'given away' or 'rehomed' or 'taken to the pound'. If there are other dogs in the home, they must meet prior to adoption. All family members in the household have to agree to the adoption. No dog is to be adopted as a 'gift'. No out of state adoptions.

Adoptions can be arranged by appointment or our dogs can be met on the first Saturday of the month at Petsmart, Desert Ridge Noon to 3:00 PM.
