About Gus

Meet Gus. If chaos had a heartbeat, it would probably be named Gus. At just 10 months old, this Mini Aussie–Poodle mix is a lively 12-pound bundle of energy. A true comedian at heart, Gus is adventurous, clever, and enthusiastic. He finds excitement in every moment, whether he's zooming around the yard, inventing games, or just being his goofy self. Toys, balls, and sticks are all fair game for this little guy, and he loves to showcase his antics to anyone nearby. Food-motivated hardly covers it. For Gus, snack time is a lifestyle, though it's also what fuels his intelligence. He’s already mastered commands like going to his crate and waiting patiently—though he’ll remind you with a wag that treats are a must. Gus excels in social settings, enjoying the company of both kids and other dogs. He can turn a quiet afternoon into a comedy show, and when the excitement winds down, he offers a soft, loyal side that seeks affection. Crate trained, potty trained, and leash walking? Gus has got it all covered. If you're ready for a life filled with laughter and fun, Gus might just be your perfect match.
