About Babe Gus

Hi there! I'm Babe Gus, and I'm on the hunt for my forever family. I am part of a litter of six puppies who were rescued from a crowded shelter in Alabama. Thankfully, K-9 Lifesavers gave us a second chance, and we've been having the best time in one big puppy pile. But now I'm ready for something even better... a home to call my very own. I appear to be a Lab mix, but one thing is certain—I am 100% adorable! Just look into my sweet eyes and try not to fall in love. I'm a happy, loving, playful puppy who enjoys making new friends and spreading smiles wherever I go. At my young age, I'm in the perfect stage for training, socialization, and learning all the things that make a great family companion. Whether we're going on adventures, playing in the yard, or cuddling on the couch, I'll be right by your side with plenty of tail wags, puppy kisses, and unconditional love. Could you be the lucky family I've been waiting for? Apply today and give this deserving boy the forever home he's been dreaming of!

Ideal Home

A loving home where I can grow and learn.

Ongoing Health

My adoption fee covers basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at a partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention, and monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care.

Training & Support

I will require a refresher in house-training. We strongly recommend all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

I am currently in a foster home and can be transported to the Wags adoption center.
