This lovable guy has had quite the journey to get here. Like many pups, Mr. Gus had a microchip but no one returned the calls to claim him. Lucky for him (and for us!), he got his big break—a new couch, a new home, and a fresh start.
When Mr. Gus first arrived, he wasn’t in great shape. He was very skinny (less than 26 lbs and he should be between 40 to 45 lbs), and the skin on his belly and legs was in rough condition. But with some TLC and the perfect food that agrees with him, he’s gaining weight like a champ and feeling so much better!
Mr. Gus has earned the nickname "Mr. Wild Child" for a reason—this boy is all about run, play, run, play, and then a little more run and play! He’s also our self-appointed referee, complete with an imaginary whistle he’s not shy about using. He loves calling “fouls” and “traveling” during playtime, so he’d thrive with a doggy buddy who’s patient, playful, and good at guiding him on when it’s time to put the whistle away.
At night, Mr. Gus sleeps soundly in his crate, and during the day, he’s a free-roaming explorer. He had a few oops moments when he first arrived but has improved a lot since then. Slow introductions to new people help him build trust, and he’s blossoming into a confident, affectionate boy who’s learning humans are pretty great.
Mr. Gus truly is a one-of-a-kind gem, and he’s ready to bring his playful spirit and big heart to the perfect forever family. Could that be you?
