My story

Gus has a lot going for him — the looks, the personality, the goofy playful side… he just needs someone willing to give him a chance. 🥺🐶💛 This handsome Aussie mix (born November 2021) is urgently looking for a foster or forever home where he can settle in, feel safe, and show off the loyal heart hiding behind those beautiful eyes. 🏡✨ Once Gus decides you’re part of his circle, he is ALL in. He’s affectionate, playful, smart, and happiest when he’s spending time with his favorite people and dog buddies. 💕 A few things to love about Gus: 🐕 Great with other dogs 🐱 Cat-friendly 👧 Wonderful with children of all ages 🧠 Knows his name, sit, and shake with BOTH paws 🚪 Doggy-door trained 🪢 Professional-level tug-of-war enthusiast 😄 His ideal day? Playing with dog friends, showing off his tricks for treats, and carrying around his favorite tug toy like he just won a championship. 🏆🐾 Gus is still learning a few things: 🦮 Leash walking is new for him 🛏️ He’s not crate trained yet 👨 He can take time warming up to unfamiliar men Because of that, Gus needs a calm, patient home that understands slow introductions and will give him the space and consistency to build confidence. Once he feels secure, he becomes an incredibly loving and devoted companion. 💛 🚨 Right now, Gus urgently needs a foster or adopter. Fostering means: 💸 Completely free — the rescue covers food, supplies, and vet care 🐶 You provide the safe place and love ✨ And if you fall in love? Fosters get first choice to adopt Gus doesn’t need perfection. He just needs someone willing to say, “come on in, buddy… you’re safe here.” 🥹🐾 Apply below to foster or adopt Gus and help this sweet boy finally catch his break. 💛 Adoption App: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LCDR/Dog Foster App: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/LCDR/Dog

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Gus, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
