About Gus

Meet Gus, a charming young boy who embodies the essence of a Havanese mix with his delightful character and lovely long coat. At around 2.5 years old, he weighs 15 pounds and has a sweet disposition that makes him irresistible. Gus adores being carried like a baby and craves affection, eager to snuggle up with you. Though he’s calm, he would thrive in a home where someone is present most of the time, as he tends to whine when left alone. Apartment living won't suit him well. Gus is not only good with kids, but he also gets along splendidly with both cats and other dogs. Walking him is easy, and he behaves nicely in the car. He is approximately 95% housetrained and knows how to sit on command. While Gus is healthy and fully vetted, he arrived with a slight limp. An X-ray revealed an old pelvic fracture, which requires a surgical procedure called FHO. He needs to gain some weight first, but rest assured, this will be managed by his new adoptive family. Gus is mobile and navigates just fine in the meantime. Gus is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations. The adoption fee is $300.
