Gus is a lovable 4 year old, 40 pound hound mix with goofy charm and a heart as warm as a sunny beach day. He’s the kind of dog who will have you smiling at his silly antics one minute and leaning in for quiet cuddles the next.

He truly enjoys being close to his people and soaking up affection like a pup stretched out in the summer sun. While Gus can be a little unsure when unfamiliar noises pop up, a calm voice and gentle reassurance help him settle right back into his sweet, trusting self.

Gus has just completed his heartworm treatment, and while he will need to enjoy a period of low activity and calm recovery, that doesn’t slow down what matters most about him. He is still 100 percent the best boy. He’s ready to rest, relax, and recover in a peaceful home where he can continue to feel safe and loved.

What Gus is looking for is a relaxed, patient home where he can take things at an easy summer pace, build his confidence, and enjoy the simple joys of life like cool breezes, soft beds, and plenty of affection.

If you’re searching for a loyal, goofy companion to share your sunny days and laid back evenings, Gus might just be your perfect match.
