Gustavo's Story

MEET GUSTAVO — 7.7 POUNDS OF POTENTIAL LOVE <br/><br/>At just 10 months old and 7.7 pounds, Gustavo is a tiny boy who has already been through more than any puppy should have to endure. <br/><br/>Gustavo was rescued from a hoarding situation in Puerto Rico, where he had to hide underneath a bed to protect himself from larger dogs who might hurt him. Can you imagine being so little and feeling like the only safe place in the world was hiding under a bed? <br/><br/>Understandably, Gustavo is shy and needs a little time to learn that the world can be a safe place. But after just two weeks in rescue, we’re already seeing him come out of his shell! <br/><br/>Gustavo isn’t aggressive and has no biting tendencies. He’s simply a little guy who needs an understanding family willing to let him decompress, build confidence, and come around at his own pace.<br/><br/>We’re not looking for someone who expects an instant cuddle bug on day one. We’re looking for someone with patience, kindness, and a heart big enough to help a tiny soul learn what love really feels like.<br/><br/>Give Gustavo that chance, and you may just find yourself with the most devoted little companion you’ve ever known. <br/><br/> Gustavo is currently in Puerto Rico and will fly to an airport near his adopter once adopted.<br/><br/> Could you be the safe place this little boy has been waiting for?<br/><br/> Please reach out if you’d like to talk about a possible adoption. Gustavo deserves a family of his own — one where he never has to hide under a bed to feel safe again.<br/><br/>https://www.theluvingpawsfoundation.org/adoption-application
