About Gustavo

Meet Gustavo — a tiny 10-month-old pup weighing in at just 7.7 pounds, who is eager to find his forever home. Rescued from a hoarding situation in Puerto Rico, Gustavo has quickly learned that the world can be a brighter place, but he still needs a bit of time to adjust and build confidence. This little guy isn't aggressive and has no biting tendencies; he just needs the right family to show him what a loving environment feels like. Gustavo is currently shy, but his gentle nature is beginning to shine through as he finds his footing. He doesn't expect to be a cuddle bug right away, so he's looking for someone with patience and understanding to guide him. With a bit of kindness, you might just discover the most devoted little companion in him. He gets along with both cats and dogs, which makes him a great addition to any pet-loving household. Gustavo is currently located in Puerto Rico and will fly to an airport near his adopter after being adopted. Could you be the safe haven he’s been eagerly waiting for? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
