About Gus

Meet Gus, a relaxed and easy-going senior gentleman who's looking for a cozy spot in your home. If you want a roommate who won't steal your clothes or hog the couch, Gus is your guy. He’ll gladly lounge at the far end of the sofa while you choose what to watch, and as long as his food bowl is full, he won’t touch your snacks. Gus appreciates attention on his own terms. He knows how to take care of himself, but loves to keep you company from a distance. Coming into TC Paw with his "sister" Mavis, these two can be adopted separately or together. Gus favors a calm environment without small children. While he may prefer to be your only furry friend, he could tolerate another older, more laid-back dog or cat with a gentle introduction. Lately, Gus has faced some challenges and has shown signs of stress grooming, resulting in a few bald patches on his inner legs and belly. He’s not a fan of excessive petting and will let you know when he's had enough. Patience and a gentle touch will help him adjust.
