Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Fill out an Adoption Application Gus is ready for his happily ever after! Our little warrior has been so brave these last few months. Gus was found as an emaciated stray back In April, he was taken to the county shelter, but never claimed, so we rescued him. He was in terrible shape, skin and bomes, had stage four dental disease, and needed an oral fistula repair surgery. He had infection and drainage and was in a lot of pain. During the first week we were unaware how bad off the little man was. He lost another pound that week, so we took him to the animal hospital where he spent the day being treated. He then moved to an experienced foster home, where he has received exceptional care and love and is now thriving. After being on meds to heal the infection, he had surgery and a dental and has been recovering well. Gus is approximately nine or so years old. He now weighs TEN whole pounds! Gus enjoys walks, gets along with other dogs, and now loves to eat! He eats a soft diet of Blue buffalo senior pate and Stella and Chewy. He didn’t lose as many teeth as we expected. Gus still sleeps a lot but is becoming more energetic and playful. Gus is completely vetted, neutered, microchipped, and just received a 6 month heartworm prevention injection. (June 10) Gus is not 100% housebroken. He has spent the last two months doing a lot of healing and resting. In typical Dachshund fashion, he hates going out in the rain, loves to dig in blankets, and sit in a lap. Gus is located in Myrtle Beach, SC Home visit, approved application with references, and adoption donation of $250 required.
