Say hello to Gus! He is an easygoing couch potato/love bug. Outgoing and playful, this sweet boy loves his human friends of all ages. Sweet Gus is indeed a silly goose. Come meet him and see. He loves playing, going for walks, and chewing on his rawhide. This smart boy knows how to sit, shake, lay down, and rollover.
In his foster home, he was able to free roam when left alone because he's so great at being by himself! He would prefer being the only pet in the home - he loves attention from his humans and wants it all to himself. He is very affectionate and loves to show his love.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
