Meet Gus -- An Adorable Little Boy with a Big Personality! This handsome little guy was spotted rummaging through trash in Tennessee, searching for something to eat. When no one came forward to claim him, a kindhearted local foster took him in, and PAWS stepped up to help him find his forever home. Gus was a little skinny and had some intestinal parasites, which have since been treated. Now he's ready for a fresh start! Gus is everything you'd want in a puppy -- playful, affectionate, smart, and full of personality! He does wonderfully with both children and adults and absolutely loves being held and snuggling up beside his favorite people. He's a clever little boy who's already picking up on commands! Even better, Gus is already fully housetrained and crate trained! He sleeps peacefully through the night in his crate and travels well in one, too. He does occasionally like to hear the sound of his own voice, especially when he's looking for a little attention! Gus is looking for a loving family who will enjoy his playful puppy antics, continue helping him learn and grow, and give him all the cuddles his little heart desires. From searching through trash to searching for love, this sweet boy deserves a wonderful forever home! All known information about the animal is listed above.
