This distinguished fellow is a class act. Gus' owner passed away and no provisions were made for his care. After hearing that he was to be taken to the vet's to be euthanized, we had to step in to help this faithful boy.

Tall and elegant, Gus is 10 years young. In Gus' world, age is just a number because he is as spry as a much younger dog - he can jump in and out of a truck with ease - this proud dog shuns any assistance. He walks beautifully on a leash, is bi-lingual (he knows German and English) and enjoys other dogs' company - especially the ladies!

While Gus may have a bit more grey in his muzzle, he has lots of love and lots more years to give to his people. It just breaks our hearts when dogs like Gus are tossed like afterthoughts after years of loving companionship.

Gus has lived with cats, dogs, grew up with kids and is just an all around good citizen. As an added bonus, Gus likes to talk to whoever will listen - especially if you have a treat.
