About Gus

Gus is a playful puppy in need of a loving and patient home. He thrives with consistent training to help him learn to potty outside and focus on his toys instead of everything else. Ideally, he would flourish in a work-from-home environment. While Gus gets along well with younger dogs, he has a bit too much energy for older pets. This little guy was found living under a car, but he's now healthy and ready for his forever home. At 3 months old and weighing 8.5 lbs, Gus will need to be neutered and has a couple more rounds of vaccines ahead of him. As he is still in the process of house and crate training, he will benefit from basic training to help him grow into a well-mannered companion. Could you be the one to give Gus the happy and active life he deserves? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
