URGENT!!!
Hello, we haven’t been active on here lately, as Gus had to be boarded at a kennel because his foster family had to move in with her dad who’s in hospice. It has been so overwhelming.
Gus has been boarded at a kennel for almost 2 months & needs out asap due to his mental health & funds running out.

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP? 🙏

Even a few weeks in a temporary foster home until we can maybe get him into a rescue. No cats, small dogs, babie/toddlers.

On Wednesdays we wear pink (or play with pink)! 💖 Anyone here excited for the new Mean Girls movie? Gus is a great cuddles & would love to watch it with you when it comes out!

It took a few days, but it’s official. Santa time of death: 1/2/2024 3:28pm. 🎅

💛 Gus’ holiday portrait is 1,000% him.
You will be adopting a silly do**us of a dog! ❤️ He is still looking for a fun home! Please keep him in mind for others, even if you can’t adopt him yourself. Thank you!
Happy Pawlidays, everyone. 🤶

Gus’ family situation has changed, and he’s in need of a new home. He’s a hilarious dog that loves to play, hike and snuggle. He’s an absolute blast to be around. He jumps with all four legs in the air when he’s really happy! Part pittie/part bunny. And, he’s very sweet. 🥰 Oh, this is his favorite ball. He needs to have this particular ball. We will provide the Amazon link. 😂

Gus is used to being an only dog. Due to his beefcake size, we are looking for family with no cats, small dogs or babies/toddlers.

Gus has not attended doggie daycare before or played off-leash, so we do not know how he would handle living with another dog. He has been boarded at kennels with interaction with other dogs via side-by-side runs, and he has enjoyed that. Homes that are experienced with slow intros might work!

Gus loves and does really well with elementary kids and up! He’s gentle with kids, plus he’s a great listener. And very intuitive towards the people he loves.

Gus has been & is currently enrolled in training classes. He is being fostered in Meeker County with his dog walker of 3 years. Please message us with any questions or adoption interest!
