Gus is a 2-year-old Frenchie mix who was returned to AFA when his previous home situation didn’t work out. Originally rescued from a puppy mill, Gus is a little shy at first, but he quickly warms up and reveals his charming personality. He is happy, friendly, and delightfully goofy. Gus loves attention and enjoys being close to his humans. He walks well on a leash, though he occasionally sits stubbornly and needs gentle encouragement to keep going. His previous owner shared that he loves playing with toys, even if he tends to shred them, and that he does well with children. Inside, he’s a relaxed couch companion, but outdoors he loves to run and play. Gus had some conflicts with a larger dog, so a home without other dogs or with small dogs would likely suit him best. This handsome guy is ready to start living his best life—could that be with you? **Please note that Gus requires a home with a fenced in yard** Interested in adopting?
