Gus

This big lug came to us from a shelter, where he faced euthanasia due to overcrowding. Gus is about 4-5 years old and he is such a love. His favorite thing to do is to crawl into your lap, gently rest his head on your shoulder and snuggle - he'll stay like that for as long as you let him. His second favorite pastime is playing with his dog friends - bitey face games and tug of war are the bees knees as far as Gus is concerned. Gus needs a home with a securely fenced yard where he can stretch his legs. He'd love to go hiking with you, or snuggle up on the sofa. He bonds strongly with his person, or dog pals, so he needs someone that is home more than not and who is committed to giving him regular exercise and play. He'd prefer another home with a playful dog, although he would do fine on his own as well. If he doesn't have a doggy companion, he will be a bit of a velcro dog, and his requirement for daily exercise will be a bit more. He is a total love, and very affectionate. If big dogs climbing in your lap is offensive to you, Gus is probably not your guy. Gus may woof at you when he meets you - he can be a bit shy - but food and toys are an instant way to his heart, Gus is currently undergoing treatment for meningitis. He will be available for adoption once his treatment has concluded. Local adopters may foster-to-adopt, so long as bringing him back to our vet for routine appointments is feasible.
