Gus

My story

Gus is an adorable, 50lb, Wirehaired Terrier mix, whose owner became ill and couldn’t care for him any longer. This 6-7 year old loves to cuddle in a lap. He is house trained and crate trained. We are still learning about Gus, but he seems to be a good and gentle dog. We don’t know how much experience he has had living with other animals, but he currently lives with 2 other dogs and cats. He is unsure of cats, mostly he wants to follow them around. It is likely Gus only lived with one person for a long time who allowed him to be a little silly. Gus can live in a home with 10+ year old kids and other pets, but he will need a home willing to be patient with play time. He’s really sweet, but his dad taught him to guard his toys and bones. Gus loves playing in running water and rubbing his face in the grass. He also enjoys squeaky toys and jerky treats. Gus can live with other dogs as long as he is given time to adjust and the other dog doesn’t also guard toys. Gus walks pretty well on a leash, but can get excited and pull a little. Gus enjoys sleeping on the couch and the bed, and is currently learning to keep his paws off the counter. Gus is super sweet boy whose life got turned upside down when he lost his owner. While he seems to be a genuinely easy going boy, the stress of all the changes will require a patient home for transitioning. Gus is currently living with one of our dog trainer/fosters.
