About GUS (Sweet Boy, Loves Kids and his Human, Kind, Good with Dogs)

Meet Gus!

Gus is a handsome 1.5-year-old, 61-pound Black and Tan Coonhound mix with a heart as big as his soft, floppy ears. Designed to be a hunting dog, Gus didn't quite match what his former humans expected, and instead of patience, he was left behind in a rural area. But Gus hasn't let that dim his spirit. He still loves generously, trusts generously, and greets each new day as a fresh adventure. This sweet boy is learning that life doesn't have to be about "performing." These days, Gus is all about relaxing, being a pup, and enjoying the simple joys like standing in the sunshine, soaking up the warmth, and taking in all the amazing outdoor smells. Watching the world go by with his nose working overtime is one of his favorite pastimes.

Ideal Home

Gus does wonderfully with other dogs and is great with kids. He would be an amazing adventure partner for camping, hiking, or fishing, just be sure to plan for a few sniff breaks along the way! Afterward, he's more than happy to curl up inside where it's warm and cozy. A big comfy bed is an absolute must after a day of exploring.

Ongoing Health

Gus is neutered, microchipped, and current on his shots.

Training & Support

Gus is house-trained and crate-trained, making him an easy addition to a loving home. Cats are still a question mark, but he's working on it and learning more every day. He loves squeaky toys.
