Gus *On Trial*

*gus is currently trialling his new home* we were rather sad that lovely little gus wasn’t collected by his owner when he ended up in our local pound, so we had to step in and save this sweet dog. Now gus is looking for a forever home where he’ll be loved and cherished and not have to worry about ever being left behind in a pound again. . . Gus was quite unsettled when he first came in to foster care and a very nasty dose of kennel cough wasn’t helping but after 2 lots of antibiotics, loads of tlc and encouragement from a sarg pup who joined gus in foster care he’s back to his old self and is enjoying life. Gus is an affectionate little chap who gets along well with other friendly dogs of all shape and adores human companionship. Gus is terrific with children and is also well behaved around his carers cat. Gus enjoys going for walks and is brilliant on a lead, or he’s happy curling up by your side at night in front of the tv – he can be quite the couch potato especially when it involves cuddles! this gentle little dog likes playing with his squeaky toys or chasing after a ball even if he doesn’t always bring it back. He spends a lot of the day either playing in the garden with his puppy mate or snoozing in a sunny spot or if its really hot having a splash in the shell pool. . . . . . Ahhh its a dog’s life in foster care!

at 4kgs gus is a perfect take anywhere size and he loves going for rides in the car and sticking his head out the window to feel the wind in his ears!

he is quite low-maintenance only needing a short walk or a run around the backyard to use up his energy each day. Being a maltese/poodle/shih tzu blend gus doesn’t shed any hair though he’ll require a good brush once a week and a clip a few times a year to keep his coat in tip top condition - he also enjoys bath time which is a bonus! secure fencing, chicken necks to chew on and toys to play with will make gorgeous gus very happy indeed!

as gus is housetrained, sleeps inside and has learnt how to use a doggie door he would be best suited to an inside / outside lifestyle with either a doggie friend for companionship or on his own but only if he won’t be left alone for long periods of time especially during his settling in period.
