Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


Gustavo has been part of our family since 2016. He’s 9 years old, healthy, and vibrant, though he occasionally gets ear infections, manageable with OTC medication. He’s loyal and protective of his pack (my wife, myself, our son, and extended family).

Gustavo is not immediately friendly with strangers and will require bonding exercises and a professional approach to help him adjust. He may bite if approached without familiarity, so we’re seeking an experienced owner who understands his needs.

Due to our son’s special needs, which demand most of our time and energy, we can no longer provide the care and attention Gustavo deserves. We’re looking for a loving home and are committed to finding the right match for him.

If you have the experience, patience, and love to give Gustavo a second chance, please reach out. Thank you for helping us ensure his future happiness.
