About Gus

Gus is a striking 3-year-old shepherd mix who lost his home through no fault of his own. Adjusting to life in a noisy shelter has left him confused, but his demeanor remains composed and gentle. Gus is sweet-natured, calm, and easygoing—he sits on command and likely knows other cues as well. His gentle presence stands out, even in a busy environment. Gus is heartworm positive, but the shelter can treat this. He’s up to date on vaccinations and, once adopted, will be microchipped and neutered. His house manners are solid, and he moves with the steady confidence you’d expect from a large shepherd. Volunteers can’t confirm how he responds to kids or other pets, so plan to bring your current animals for a meet and greet if needed. Gus is waiting in kennel 60, ID 19438, hoping to find a stable, loving home again. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
