About Gus - 7 Year Old Greyhound
Meet Gus, a gentle giant
Gus is a gorgeous seven-year-old male Greyhound who seems to love absolutely everyone he meets. He’s a friendly, affectionate boy who thrives on human company and is always happy to make new friends.
He’s incredibly loving and has the sweetest way of asking for attention. One of his favourite things is tucking his big head right into your armpit to get as close as possible for pats. He’s certainly not shy about asking for affection!
Gus loves playing with his toys and balls, enjoys water and is always excited to greet visitors. When someone arrives, he’ll race straight to the front door to say hello!
He’s an ex-racing Greyhound, is house trained and walks beautifully on lead. He even responds to clicking sounds when out walking.
Gus has gorgeous colouring and regularly receives compliments wherever he goes.
Like most Greyhounds, Gus is very relaxed and chilled for the majority of the day. He loves being around his people but is also more than happy to spend his days snoozing and enjoying a comfortable spot to relax.
Gus has been around children and is comfortable with children of all ages.
Gus would be suitable for a full-time working household, provided he has a friendly dog companion at home. He’s quite happy spending his time relaxing outside with a doggy friend while his family is at work. He’s an easygoing boy who doesn’t need constant entertainment, just a comfortable environment, companionship and plenty of love when his people are home.
He would make a wonderful companion for a family looking for a gentle, affectionate and easygoing dog. He would also suit a home with a dog of similar temperament and size.
Gus is the perfect combination of playful, friendly and relaxed. He has so much love to give and will make a beautiful addition to the right family.
