A note from the foster: Gus is an energetic, exuberant boy. His favorite things are: playing fetch (he could do this for hours), chewing bones, chewing the balls he plays fetch with, watching the neighborhood, looking in the kitchen sink in case someone threw food in there, and just being an all around good boy. He is potty trained but you need to keep him on a schedule, cause he is still a puppy and he forgets if he is playing too hard. His fetch balls will go in the water ball when he gets a drink, towels are your friend. He is kennel trained, which is good cause he is at the chewy stage of his growth. He is also so smart, he learns quickly and wants to make you happy by learning.
He gets along with our dogs, but needs to learn personal space for both people and dogs. As he gets older this will not be tolerated by other dogs. We are working on his manners. He would do well in a house with other dogs or without, as long as he can play fetch, and get some exercise and his brain be kept busy, he will be a happy boy.
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsively more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
