Gus

My story

Approximate Age: 5 years old Approximate Weight: 68 lbs Meet Gus! • Playful spirit: Loves running and playing outside. • Affectionate snuggler: Couch, bed, lap—Gus will find a way to be close to his humans and soak up cuddles. • Compliment king: He lives for kisses and being told he's handsome. • Dog-friendly with a playmate: Gets along well with other dogs who enjoy rough-and-tumble play. • Kid-friendly with caution: Sweet with children, but best for families without small kids due to his size and enthusiasm. • Chew champion: Needs durable toys and chews to stay busy, especially when home alone. • Training ready: Smart but stubborn—could benefit from a little obedience work. • Sensitive guy: Not a fan of nail trims or vibrations; has benign cysts on his ears—aka his “special ears.” • Treat-motivated: Loves snacks, but they should be limited due to a sensitive tummy. Gus is a fun, sweet, and loyal companion ready to bring joy, laughter, and snuggles to the right home. ********************************************************************* Visit our website for an application to adopt. https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org/adoption-application What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance. Educational article: 3/3/3 rule: https://www.rescuedogs101.com/bringing-new-dog-home-3-3-3-rule/?fbclid=IwAR2iv5m7fqk3FieO7LOsstGeGsYYV_F1rJOd1BPxaImofLpcinpYsUbFRWs Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog). More "sought out breeds may have a higher adoption donation) Adoption donations are to be made via cash, or credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards. We do not accept checks for adoption fees. Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption. We typically have adoption events on Wednesdays 5-7pm, Fridays 6-8pm, and 11 to 3pm. Our adoption center is located at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. It's important that you keep an eye on your emails for any changes or updates during the adoption process. Old Dominion Humane Society is a volunteer based organization. We are run completely by volunteers, who also have full time jobs, so we appreciate your patience. Currently, the average timeframe for a response to your application is 1 week.
