Meet Gus

*PLEASE READ********
Dogs in our program are fostered in a private home, we ask that you fill out an application prior to requesting to set up a meeting or you can meet them at an upcoming adoption clinic.

Visit our website or FB page for dates/times. If they are still listed on Petfinder, they are still available. Due to the volume of emails we receive daily, We can not respond to "Is he/she still available" or "how can I meet them".

***At this time, we are not able to adopt to those who rent their home/apartments. Unfortunately it has become more and more difficult for people to find a rental property that allows pets and although you may have no intentions of moving, life happens and we have seen GREAT pet owners have to rehome their pets because of lack of available housing. We hope you understand our position. ***

Gus is approximately 5 months old, 10lbs, and a cute little dachshund mix. Gus was rescued from a hoarding situation where he was found living in deplorable conditions. He never left the house so this left him terrified and very shut down. He is really starting to learn how to love his new life. He is slowly figuring out the joys of being a safe and loved dog! He can still be pretty skeptical of humans he just met but absolutely loves playing with other dogs and gets along great with cats.

Given his upbringing he is still pretty skittish around new people and new experiences so he will need a home that will be understanding and continue to build his confidence. Once he trusts you and knows he is loved he will follow you around everywhere and even snuggle at your feet. We feel Gus would do best in a home with another dog to help build his confidence. We are also looking for a home with a fenced in yard for this sweet boy.

He is potty and crate trained.

Because Gus still needs nurturing to fully trust and come out of his shell, we are looking for an individual to foster him with the intentions of adopting.

No renters for this boy and no kids under 8 years old please.
