About Gus Gingerbread

Gus Gingerbread is an outgoing, young American Bulldog mix waiting to make the trip up to New England with transportation covered by the rescue. He was rescued as a stray from a Tennessee flea market—hungry, lost, and alone, until he found safety and care. Now, at about 8 months old, Gus Gingerbread weighs around 50 pounds (as of late March), wears a short black and cream coat, and still has a big, goofy puppy grin that lights up for people he loves. This boy loves everyone he meets and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. Gus Gingerbread is full of playful puppy energy and enjoys plenty of playtime. He’s learning leash manners and rides well in the car, though he’s still working on being house trained and benefits from being crated when left alone. Because of his age, he’ll thrive in a home ready to commit to ongoing training and structure as he grows into adulthood. All vaccinations are current and he’s already neutered. If you’re looking for a happy, friendly addition with a classic puppy attitude, Gus Gingerbread is ready to bring joy to an active family in Andover, MA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
