Gus's Story

Meet Gus—106 pounds of possibility! <br/><br/>At 5 years old, Gus is a big guy looking for a home ready for his size, energy, and next chapter. Surrendered when his previous home wasn’t the right fit, he’s hoping to find a family who can offer regular exercise, patient guidance, and time to settle in.<br/><br/>Gus’s former owner reports that he does well with other dogs and is an excellent car passenger. Road trip buddy? He’s ready to fill that position—and a good portion of the back seat! He does chase cats, so a home without feline friends may be his best match.<br/><br/>Gus can bark at strangers and has barked and growled during introductions to unfamiliar people. He’ll need slow, thoughtful introductions and space to get comfortable without being rushed. Our team can help you discuss whether he’s a good match for your household.<br/><br/>This strong boy also pulls on leash, so he’s looking for someone comfortable handling a large dog and ready to work on his walking manners with positive reinforcement. Opportunities to move, sniff, play, and learn will be important parts of his routine.<br/><br/>Have room in your life—and your back seat—for Gus? Ask our team about meeting him!
