Gus

Gus / arrived July 23<br/><br/>55 lbs / 9 months (DOB December 2022) / male / retriever mix / originally from Mexico<br/><br/>?Fostered in Cambridge<br/><br/>Introducing handsome Gus! Gus is a big, goofy puppy who is learning the ropes of being a family dog in Canada. Gus is very social with other dogs, people, and kids, and we think he would thrive in most homes! He is looking for a family who is active and can keep up with his energy and excitement. Gus also does great with kiddos of all ages and would love a family who can grow up with him!<br/><br/>Good with adults: yes! He can be a bit shy at first but he warms up quickly<br/>Good with kids: yes, of all ages!<br/>Good with other dogs: yes, but is a very excitable puppy, so older or less tolerant dogs may not love his energy<br/>Good with cats: untested<br/>House trained: yes<br/>Crate trained: yes<br/>Energy level: medium to high (he loves to play and party, but is also very cuddly!)<br/>Can be handled/touched: loves it!<br/>Barker: pretty quiet<br/>Food aggressive: not at all, but he’s using a slow feeder since he’s a very quick eater!<br/>Walks on a leash: Gus pulls and barks when he sees dogs he wants to meet. He can also be a bit nervous when meeting new people, but he’s improving day by day!<br/>Escape artist: doesn’t appear to be, but caution around doors is recommended since he doesn’t hesitate in doorways<br/>Good in the car: a bit nervous<br/>Background: Gus’ mom and her young litter were abandoned outside our shelter partner in Mexico<br/>Medical: Gus’ nose was how he was born. There were a couple dogs just like that and it was endearing to us. There are no issues or concerns with his breathing and he is healthy as can be!
