Kusu is a special boy who dreams of patrolling his property. He would thrive in a working outdoor home with livestock to guard, while still enjoying affection from his people.

Kusu loves children and does well with female dogs. He is best suited as the only dog in a working position with an adopter experienced with livestock guardian dogs and committed to positive reinforcement training.

Ideal Home

• Working outdoor home with stock to guard
• Adopter with livestock guardian dog experience
• Best as the only dog, though he does well with female dogs
• Loving home committed to positive reinforcement training

Ongoing Health

His adoption fee includes DAPP, rabies vaccination when age appropriate, a heartworm test and preventative when age appropriate, flea and tick treatment, and spay or neuter when medically appropriate. Kusu is already neutered. Future annual vaccines, testing, and monthly heartworm prevention are the adopter's financial responsibility.

Training & Support

Positive reinforcement training with Green Dogs Unleashed is required for adoption. Preference is given to adopters who complete the six-week Canine 101 class in person at the Troy, Virginia headquarters. A limited number of out-of-area adopters may instead complete one private lesson with GDU and attend a pre-approved positive reinforcement class locally.
