About Gus

Gus is losing himself in the shelter. ���� For four years, Gus tried to fit into a life that wasn't built for him. He grew up in a busy home with other animals and constant commotion, and though he tried again and again, it was never quite the right fit. Now Gus, a 4-and-a-half-year-old cattle dog mix, sits in a kennel, and every day he struggles more. This is not who he is meant to be. Gus is a working dog with a sharp mind, a big heart, and a deep need for purpose. In the shelter, with no one to call his own, he is fading. What Gus needs is not ordinary, but neither is he. His perfect match is someone who understands working dogs and can offer a pet-free, adult-only home. In return, Gus gives his whole heart. He's housebroken, crate trained, and even enjoys bath time with a little peanut butter bribery. He loves chasing his flirt pole, and we'll send his favorite one home with him. Give him a job to do, whether it's walking on the treadmill, tackling a puzzle game, or joining you on a new adventure, and he lights up. But Gus cannot wait much longer. The shelter is no place for a dog like him, and every day without a purpose makes him decline further. He deserves more than this. He deserves his person. If you are that person, or you know someone who could be, please don't wait. Gus has been waiting his whole life for a place where he doesn't have to fit in, because he already belongs. ���� Apply to adopt at hshcadoptions.com, then visit during adoption hours 12-5 PM (closed Wednesdays).
