✨ Meet Gus, the charming 5-year-old soul searching for his forever home! This sweet, affectionate boy is not just any dog, oh no; he’s a delightful spirit navigating the world with a twinkle in his eye despite being partially blind and mostly deaf. But don’t let that deter you! Gus is bursting with life, love, and an enthusiasm that will steal your heart! 💖 🐾 Now, let’s talk about Gus’s favorite activities! This smart and lively fella absolutely thrives when he has a “job” to do. Picture this: a ball in the yard and Gus, with all the determination in the world, enthusiastically herding it and chasing after his canine foster siblings with joy! He’s incredibly friendly, forever making friends wherever he goes - human or dog, everyone is his buddy! 🏡 Gus is a pro at home life, being fully house- and crate-trained. He has shared space with children, cats, and other dogs, and he gets along with everyone like peanut butter and jelly! However, Gus is on the lookout for a very special family - one with experience in herding breeds who understands their unique energy and drive. Though he generally holds a calm demeanor, he needs a little extra understanding and training to help him navigate excitement, especially when encountering barriers like fences. 🌳 Gus will thrive in a home with suitable space to run; whether that's a securely fenced yard or room for long-line play until his recall is in tip-top shape. His ideal family will appreciate his need for mental and physical engagement, ensuring this wonderful boy lives his happiest and most fulfilled life! If you have the herding breed experience, a heart big enough to provide love for his special sensory needs, and the space for Gus to flourish, he can’t wait to meet you! 😍 This truly nice dog is sweet as sugar and adores his human friends and furry companions alike! Remember, this loving boy’s adoption fee is $400 plus MN tax, covering his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and any medical care he received while in the rescue. As a foster-based rescue, we don’t house dogs in a facility; we rely on wonderful foster families to care for them. Ready to change a life? Be sure to apply to adopt Gus through the Buddy App! He’s waiting for you! 🐕❤️
