My story

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

Meet Gus!!! Gus is a charming 9-year-old classic Basset with plenty of pep in his step. Gus adores playing with toys (he even knows some by name!) and enjoys play sessions with the dog and cat in his foster home. He’s always up for a quick game of fetch, walks around the neighborhood, or an adventure in the car. He will also happily settle in for a snuggle or nap with his family.

Fully house-trained, he can use the dog door or will let his family know when he needs to go outside. He has some separation anxiety (barking and whining) so would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day. If you work from home, Gus will be your loyal coworker. He is not fit for an apartment, condo, or townhome life. A social and fun-loving guy, Gus makes fast friends with everyone he meets, including kids. However, due to his sturdy “tank-like” nature, he’d do best in a home with school-age children or older to avoid accidentally knocking little ones over.
.
With his lovable personality and sweet nature, Gus is guaranteed to bring joy to your home and brighten every day. Contact BROOD today to meet him! His adoption fee is $200.00.

**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference.

The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog’s age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD’s adoption fees are determined based on the age of the dog. 12/28/2024
