Meet Gus D, a sweet and gentle puppy hailing from Arkansas. He is learning that people can be safe and that his new surroundings are full of potential. Gus can be a little timid, particularly when someone hovers over him, so a soft, calm approach is key. He prefers having someone sit on the floor nearby, allowing him to come to them when he's ready. Gus is doing wonderfully with potty training. Taking him outside every 3-5 hours has proven effective, as he generally does his business quickly. This smart and observant boy enjoys watching everything around him, but when he’s not on guard, you’ll find him napping or playing with his assorted toys, especially those with squeakers. As Gus continues to build his confidence, his gentle personality shines through. In just four days, he has grown comfortable with most of his foster family. Gus is good with other dogs and would do well with older considerate children. Ready to make a difference in this loving boy's life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
