About Gus

Gus came from a challenging background, being part of a litter born in a hoarding situation. Fortunately, an elderly gentleman allowed rescue assistance to find loving homes for all the dogs. This little guy has the charm of a typical puppy—social, playful, and full of energy. He’s a blend of Labrador and Hound, displaying a sweet yellow and cream coat. Not only does Gus get along with dogs, but he’s also great with children, making him a wonderful addition to a family. He’s ready for a forever home where he can thrive and grow. With an adoption fee of $550, this includes age-appropriate vaccines, microchipping, and vetting. Plus, once Gus is neutered, $50 of the fee is refunded. If you're ready to welcome a joyful puppy into your life, he can't wait to meet you! Start your journey together! Apply now.
