Gus's Story

-FOSTER PUPDATE-<br/>Gus A133992<br/>103 lb. neutered male, approx 8 years old<br/><br/>Gus is a loving, silly, and well-trained Presa Canario mix. This guy is 8 years young and still likes to gallop through the occasional round of zoomies.<br/><br/>THE GOOD STUFF:<br/><br/>-Potty-trained ROCKSTAR<br/>-Knows "sit"<br/>-LIVES for a car ride. If your hatch is open, he will exercise his right to non-violent protest and sit next to the car until you let him in.<br/>-Has been a gentleman with the cats in his foster home. Slow, careful introductions are always best!<br/>-Has been a gentle giant with the other dogs in his foster home. Slow and proper introductions are a must.<br/>-Is currently fostered in a home with kids. Bigger kids are ideal, as he will absolutely put all 103 pounds into his attempt to become a lap dog.<br/>-Certified snuggle buddy. He identifies as a lap dog.<br/>Verified couch potato. He loves a good sofa snuggle.<br/>-Has the biggest, happiest tappy toes when he sees a leash.<br/>-Loves to lie down in the middle of a walkway because that gives him the highest chance of getting pets from people walking by.<br/>-Loves a good bone. He will carry it around and is a gentleman if you need to take it away.<br/><br/>A FEW THINGS TO KNOW:<br/>-Not a barker, but he will sing the song of his people if he wants to snuggle and can't get to you.<br/>-Not a guard dog. He won't bark to announce deliveries. If he could open the door to let someone in, he would do it with a wagging tail.<br/>-Has absolutely no idea that he weighs 103 pounds. A home with older kids or someone who is comfortable with large dogs is best. He loves meeting kids, but will absolutely try to sit on them.<br/>-Doesn't really play with toys. Your presence is perfect for him.<br/><br/>Gus is basically a 103-pound professional snuggler who would like everyone to know that he is, in fact, a lap dog.<br/><br/>This pet is in a foster home! If you are interested in meeting Gus, please email foster@friendsofdacc.org with subject line "GUS A133992"<br/><br/>Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt<br/><br/>There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, and $40 for cats payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption.
