About Gus

Gus is a young mixed breed dog, likely with heeler ancestry, who recently celebrated his first birthday in February. He’s well on his way to being fully house trained and is comfortable in his crate, making him a suitable companion for various living situations. Though he occasionally grapples with anxiety, Gus is making incredible strides in his foster home. This gentle boy is cautious rather than aggressive, having arrived at North Paw feeling frightened, especially around men. He is steadily gaining confidence and learning how to manage his anxious feelings, which is positively influencing his interactions with others. Gus would thrive best in a home with another dog to guide him and help him build his confidence. He enjoys the company of well-socialized dogs and often engages in play with them. Gus loves to snuggle but usually needs an invitation from his trusted humans. He also enjoys playing ball, going for walks, and car rides. If you have a patient and understanding home ready to help Gus continue on his journey, he might just be the perfect match for you. Gus' adoption fee is $500. This includes his neuter, a microchip, vaccinations, flea and heartworm prevention, and deworming treatment while in foster care. Are you ready to help this good boy live his best life?
