Gus is a very large Great Dane, found abandoned despite having clear signs of previous care—neutered, microchipped, crate and house trained, and already knowing some tricks. His former owner could be contacted but chose not to take him back. Around the rescue, Gus just sort of lumbers about, bumping into things in his goofy, overgrown way. Most people win him over immediately, but he can be hesitant around men, even men he's seen many times. He must have a slow, gentle introduction to any men in the household. Kids under 16 aren’t a good fit given his size and nervousness. Gus does get along with dogs, but not cats. He needs an experienced Great Dane adopter—this isn't his first rodeo, and he’ll need someone who understands the quirks and requirements of the breed. Because he’s so big and still learning spatial awareness, you’ll need a high fence and time to help him settle in comfortably. Gus is a bit of an overgrown child at heart, leaning up on you and nearly knocking you over just for the fun of being close. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
