Gus (JN25-410)'s Story
###############<br/><br/>HIGHLIGHTS:<br/>- Requires another confident dog already established in the home<br/>- Will need a second meet and greet prior to adoption<br/><br/>Meet Gus - A Gentle Little Guy Learning How to Trust<br/><br/>Gus is a 9.5-pound Miniature Schnauzer who's just starting to explore the world beyond his comfort zone. He's a nervous boy, but he's showing small, meaningful signs of progress as he begins to learn that people can be kind and patient.<br/><br/>Gus loves other dogs and feels most at ease when he's around them. A confident canine friend will be essential to help guide him and show him that the world isn't so scary. While he's still unsure around people, Gus will take chicken from your hand-as long as it's placed flat on the ground first. It's a small step, but one we're very excited about.<br/><br/>He's also working on getting used to being picked up with a towel and is starting to tolerate gentle handling in short sessions. He'll need an experienced adopter who understands fearful dogs and can continue helping him learn that human contact can be safe and positive.<br/><br/>Because of his sensitivity, Gus will need a second meet and greet prior to adoption to help him build comfort with his new family before heading home.<br/><br/>With time, consistency, and another dog by his side, Gus has the potential to grow into a more confident companion. He's a sweet, sensitive little pup who just needs the right environment to feel secure enough to blossom.<br/><br/>-----<br/>Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!
