About Guss

Meet Guss! Guss is a friendly mixed breed guy estimated to be around 4–5 years old and weighing 40 pounds. He arrived at the shelter as a stray and is now eager to find a loving forever home. Guss enjoys going for walks, exploring his surroundings, and has playful, puppy-like mannerisms that make him all the more charming. Though Guss has Myasthenia Gravis, which slows the communication between his nerves and muscles, it doesn't dampen his spirits. He’s a happy pup who loves affection and has shown no negative side effects from his condition, so he doesn’t need medication right now. His playful nature includes enjoying time with other dogs, and a meet-and-greet would be necessary if you have a resident dog. With the right introductions, he might also be comfortable living with a cat. Guss would do best in a home with dog-savvy kids aged 10 and older. This sweet, easygoing guy is ready to bring plenty of love and personality into your home. If you’re looking for a companion who embraces life and enjoys all it has to offer, Guss might just be the right fit for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
