🎉 Meet Gus, the charming 3 ½-year-old Basset Hound with a heart of gold and a dash of sass! This lovely gentleman found his way to his foster home after his previous owner faced some tough times. Imagine a pup who’s seen a bit of life but is still ready to chase all the possibilities! 🌟 With a personality as colorful as a box of crayons, Gus is on a journey of love and growth. Once struggling with severe resource guarding, he’s now 95% better thanks to the patience and dedication of his foster parent. 🐾 He enjoys his meals separately to ensure peace reigns at the dinner table, and while he still has a few growly moments, it’s all part of the charm of this wonderful boy! Oh, and let’s not forget his playful side! 🐕💨 Gus adores zoomies down the hallway, playing with his feline friend, Stanley, and happily trotting alongside his two canine sisters, Presley and Kitchi. When he’s not being a speedy pup, he’s keeping an eye on the world, barking at the traffic and those curious cows across the street. Mooo-ving right along! 🐮 While Gus may be a little shy around men—giving a growl to those he doesn't recognize—he’s shown that with love and time, he can learn to trust again. Ideally, he would flourish in a home with a calm female or couple ready to help him feel at ease and continue his socialization journey. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑💕 Every Basset has a stubborn streak, and Gus is no exception! His spirited nature is what makes him uniquely Gus—lovable, funny, and just a tad determined! If you feel like you could be the right fit to give this lovable, zoomy boy the forever home he dreams of, don’t wait another moment! 📲 Apply through the Buddy App today to join Gus on this exciting adventure! This adorable soul is ready to bring joy, laughter, and a lot of heart into your life! [Rescue information: Gus is currently with a loving foster parent who has been helping him transition and grow.] Remember, for everyone’s safety, all meet and greets must be in person, so get ready to embrace your future best friend!
