Gus

Adoptable Dachshund Gus is a 14-year-old dachshund mix weighing 22 pounds, and he is truly the definition of a gentle soul. He may be an older pup, but he still has plenty of love (and even a little pep!) to share with the right family.<br/><br/>Gus doesn’t see or hear very well, but it doesn’t slow him down in daily life at all. He confidently uses the doggie door like a champ and navigates his world with ease. While he isn’t a big cuddler, Gus loves being close to his people – he happily follows his foster dad around the house and settles nearby just to be close.<br/><br/>Gus’ Forever Home Checklist ✅:<br/>– A fenced yard would be ideal, but it’s not a deal breaker.<br/>– Gus would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time and understands that he’s perfectly content just being near you.<br/><br/>🐾 Gus at a Glance:<br/>– Good with dogs: Yes!
