39;s a typical hound who likes to sniff, so a fenced yard is required. This good boy really enjoys attention and affection. Gus gets along wonderfully with other dogs and rides beautifully in the car. Gus is neutered, up to date on vaccines and recently completed treatment for heartworm. Gus' adoption fee is $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wag-on-inn.

Foster Feature General Personality: Gus is a very happy boy, he loves to play with his toys, loves other dogs, enjoys the outdoors. He had a medium energy level and loves to run around. Daily Routine: Morning walk, breakfast at 8, plays a little then just hangs out . He goes out in the yard throughout the day and is happy to play with his toys in his own. His love for being outside would require him to have a fence. Is the dog housebroken? Yes Behavior Around Dogs, Cats, or Kids: He loved other dogs. He is gentle around his older and larger foster sister who isn’t much for playing. He has not been cat tested but ignores them on walks. In a home environment I think he’d want to play with them. Energy Rating (1 = very high; 5 = very low): 3 Leash Walking Rating (1 = difficult; 5 = perfect): 3 Leash Behaviors: No problems Crate Rating When Left Alone: Goes willing into the crate and stays calm Does the dog sleep through the night? Yes What makes him/her happy? He loves being with people and getting pets and cuddles but also loves to play with his stuffed toys. What makes him/her nervous or unhappy? If there is a new noise he may jump and seem startled but moves on. New people have him initially standoffish but he warms up quickly. Other Quirks: He may put a little game of chase to stay out longer. Treats or his foster sister can lure him in. He collects thing, like shoes and brings them to his hangout for the day. He does no damage and it’s only shoes that are left out. He also does this with his toys. It very funny. He is a funny boy! Other Displayed Behaviors: For being a hound mix there is very little barking. It happens at appropriate times, when he’s playing or occasionally if he sees someone out the window. Current Walking Device: Regular leash and martingale Currently Eating: Purina Pro

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
