About Gus

Adoption Fee: $175
Lab / Rhodesian Ridgeback
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Returned to rescue 3 yrs after adoption. :/ He deserves a committed human in his life-------------------------- Few come looking to adopt me. Well, two single men have and each time I was let down. My first adoption ended within just a few days because I was too hyper as a puppy. My second ended three years later when a deployment came up and efforts were not made to keep me. I was abandoned yet again and my rescuers who have always said how committed they were to me for life, jumped through hoops to get me safe in 4 days... I came back to rescue with a hot spot all along my back, overgrown nails, and overdue on all vetting to include heartworm preventative. Luckily I tested negative! I really wouldn't want to go through that horrible treatment. I am not really sure why this keeps happening to me. I guess that is because I am a 'plain Joe'. I am just brown with really no special features you say. So you look at my pictures and then move on. No one even wants to meet me. But what you don't know is that I am perfect for you. Just find your description below and read. This is what my rescue foster mom said about me BEFORE my last adoption. It has been three years and they don't know what I have all experienced in that time, but one thing that hasn't changed is that I am a good boy! Single Male Looking for Love? I got you covered. See my smile? That can pick up anyone! I love to go for walks, and I can totally be your wingman. Let's hit up some dog friendly restaurants and you may not be single for long. Or just cruise around the block, maybe take a stroll on the beach. All the ladies will love how handsome I am when I smile and chase the ball! I mean seriously, have you seen my build. I am one handsome and athletic pooch. I can even help you get more fit as your jogging partner. I am a great workout buddy! I never poke fun at how slow you may be, or that you can't run as long as me. After all, you're kind of at a disadvantage. I mean, two legs, really?? But I'm just happy to be helping you out bro! Then afterward we can go crash on the couch and watch some TV, play some video games, or really whatever. Kick back and relax, just the boys for a bit. Have you ever seen Must Love Dogs? It'll be like that. Think about it! We can skip the part where the guy lies to the girl and borrows a dog to the date and then she storms off when she feels deceived as he says 'It said 'must love dogs, not must own dog'' Because, you'll OWN a DOG! So we skip all of the drama and she just falls madly in love with you and the rest is awesome. It'll happen because I saw it on TV. All I ask is that you don't leave me like the other single men in my past. Not when you find a partner, not when your job changes, not when you move. Just keep me. I deserve it! Single Lady Looking for Love? This world is a scary place and I can help you weed out the bad ones! I have a thing for the ladies you see and will always take care of you. Like to go for a walk? I got your back. We can go together. I can help you get fit too if you like to go for a jog. I am great at that! I am the only man that won't ever let you down, but if your boo likes me, then he's a keeper. Any man that doesn't like your dog isn't a good man! But good luck finding one as handsome and athletic as I am. Have you seen my gorgeous brown eyes, shaggy brown locks, and muscle? Not to mention my smile. This could really be like 101 Dalmatians. Just out on a stroll on your bike, my handsome self by your side and BAM! Star crossed lovers connect. It's perfect really and it's bound to happen because I watched it on TV. Single Fella And Want to Keep It that Way? Perfect for me too! Who needs a spouse when you have ME! Wanna play ball? Me too! Wanna work out? OK! Wanna relax with a beer and watch TV? Let's do it! Well, not the beer part, not for me anyway, but I bet you could teach me to go fetch one for you. How cool would that be? I am pretty much the only friend you need. Really. And I would love to be someone's friend. Sort of like Turner and Hooch. We could get into a LOT of stuff together. Wouldn't that be fun? And it'd be true too cuz I saw it on TV. Single Lady And Want To Keep It That Way? This is too easy for me! Who needs a man when you have a dog? No one. That simple. I love you when you wake up and your breath stinks and that says a lot because my sense of smell is like 100 times better than yours. I love you without makeup which is pretty easy because really, you are two legged and practically hairless, you can't get much sillier looking. I love you when you are angry because you throw the ball farther and that's pretty fun. I love you when you're sad and we can cuddle. I love you when you're lonely, happy, it really doesn't matter. Whatever mood you are in, I'll be there for you. By your side.
