About Gus
Meet Gus, a cheerful one-year-and-two-month-old Staffy mix with a heart full of love for people and a playful spirit. Gus is a true people's dog, delighting in the company of humans and showering them with affection while eagerly soaking up their love in return.
As a typical Staffy, Gus has a penchant for jumping up on people, but with proper training and boundaries, this behavior can be managed. Secure six-foot fencing is a must to ensure Gus's safety and prevent any escape attempts during his outdoor adventures.
To keep Gus happy and healthy, he'll need his daily dose of exercise, which includes at least one walk a day. While Gus hasn't been tested with cats, it's best to err on the side of caution, as his breed tendencies may not make him suited for feline companionship.
Despite coming into the shelter with some reactivity towards other dogs, Gus has undergone significant training and has shown remarkable progress. While he may be best suited for a home without another dog, he's making strides in his socialization journey and enjoys the company of his human companions immensely.
When he's not busy romping around with his squeaky pig toy or cooling off in a clam pool, Gus is happiest simply hanging out with his people, soaking up their love and attention. If you're seeking a loyal and affectionate companion who's always up for a good time, Gus is ready to bring joy and laughter into your life.

We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
