About Gus

Gus is a 3 year old neutered male boxer.Gus is 90 pounds of pure goofball. He is a sweet playful boy who loves his humans! He enjoys other dogs, but cannot be unsupervised. He will play and become rough, then get upset and becomes defensive/aggressive. He has hurt our dalmatian a couple times. He loves playing, but needs to have someone watching as a referee to correct if he begins to get rough to keep from escalation. He is easily corrected, but my husband and I work full time, so we cannot supervise all the time. We have tried separating and crating while we are away,but both had major flaws (I'm happy to explain to anyone who is interested). He gets a long well with cats (but is big and goofy, so most cats do not appreciate his love). He would be best suited in a home with no other dogs or other large dogs that can withstand his 90 pounds of rough housing and full time supervision. Gus knows simple commands (sit, lay, shake, heel). He walks on a leash and has a good recall. Gus has been with our family since he was 10 weeks old, he has been socialized, out in public, to stores like pet smart, out for playing at the lake/ponds, etc. We love him so very much, but also want the best for him, he isn't mean, but we don't want him in a situation that he can hurt another dog or get hurt in a fight if one happened and we weren't there. He has been spoiled and loved and kept up to date on all vaccines and is microchipped. He is not 'farm safe' He will kill chickens and chase livestock (again if not supervised). Gus would be perfect for a family with kids (he LOVES our chaotic boys) and any kiddo who would love a big goofy fetch playing doggo! He would also be a perfect companion for someone who just needs a big hunk of smoosh face to love, good off with, and then snuggle in the couch and watch some Netflix. He is fully house trained (will alert to go out and come back in, or use a doggy door). He absolutely loves to cuddle on the couch or sleep under the covers with you. He loves to go for rides and walks nicely on a leash. We would keep him forever, but he is too rough with our other dogs. I am worried he is going to hurt one of them or get himself hurt in a fight.. I would rather him to be in a perfect family that can give him all the love and attention he deserves without risking him or another dog getting hurt if he becomes defensive during play. His adoption fee will go to a local shelter in my area to help other animals in need (I just want to ensure he is going to the perfect home).
